The answer is no. It doesn't hold together, but is a somewhat unexpected way. The gears a prone to slipping. This means the puzzle can very easily get into illegal states, even unsolvable states if they still allow for turning. This requires the puzzle to be taken apart to be correct. There is not actually all that much moving in there. Each of the pie slices has teeth that feed around the center piece which has a solid non moving gear. The onlything driving the pies to spin is one forth pushing. This causes the easy slop and misalignment unfortunately.
Looks like it would be a cool puzzle. My main concern is will it hold together for a complete solve?
probably. you saw how hard it was to pry out a piece
