There's a sensation of disbelief at first when you think you found the break-in, then end up with a couple of pencil marks out of it and think "nah, there must be something else about this set-ting that I don't see", then go back to the pencil marks, find the little missing piece, and then it's just beauty all around !
Well done and thanks !

The break-in is brilliant, I discovered it early, but I didn't see how it interacts with some cages because they haven't gotten my attention yet.
It took me some time to realize that this is the break-in that I need to solve the puzzle.
Excellent puzzle, thank you :)

Really disgustingly beautiful.
The opening gave me a sense of disappointment at first blush, but after spotting the true aha moment, the journey only finally began with stunning interactions all over the place, still took me a full hour to finish though ;)

Lovely interaction of constraints! You might also enjoy the puzzle with id=0004ET. Thanks for making this one :-)
