Occasionally, the pentacube puzzle is available commercially, for example under the name RESERVAT. Alternatively, it can easily be produced with a 3D printer.

A complete set of all 29 pentacubes consists of a total of 145 cubes.
However, to fill a 5 × 5 × 6 cuboid, you need 150 cubes – the equivalent of 30 pentacubes. In this case, if you are producing the pentacubes with a 3D printer, you can simply print one of the pieces twice.
