Here's the next puzzle in the Cubedoku series. You can find the first puzzle, and a full explanation of the rules, and how it works here. This one is also a thermo puzzle, with some irregular regions - it's not too tough, but is a little more challenging than the first.

The Rules:

Standard Cubedoku rules apply: fill the cells with the digits 1-6, so that each visible face of the cube is a valid Sudoku grid. Every digit in each grid indexes a 1x1x1 target cell within the cube, and each target cell must be indexed by all three grids.The digit 1 in a cell specifies that the target cell is the 1x1x1 cube closest to the surface of the cube where the digit is located, whereas a digit 2 in a cell indicates that the target cell is the second cube down from the surface, and so on.
Digits on a thermometer must increase from the bulb end.

Solution code: There are three visible faces - the top face, the left face and the right face. On the top face row 1 goes from the left top corner to the far top corner, and column 1 goes from the left top corner to the near top corner. The code is: left face row 4, right face column 4, top face column 5 (18 digits, no spaces)

It took a minute to understand the index/target rule. It didn't click for me until I looked at the picture in the ruleset of your previously released Cubedoku. Otherwise, I enjoyed it!

Thanks for the solve - yeah, the picture in the other one really helps.
