A Second Set of Six Hexomino 6x6 Tiling Puzzles

thingiverse

D Moews provided, as output by his tiling program, tiling-002.tgz, all the sets of hexominoes which tile a 6x6 square ordered by multiplicities. A total of 29,252 sets were delivered to see http://djm.cc/dmoews.html. A subset with multiplicities 1,2,3 has a group of six sets with properties like those used in thing:3180729; that is they differ from each other by a single hexomino. Again, six puzzles can be presented without identifying individual hexominoes. If the six unique pieces are printed with one color and the five common pieces printed in a second color, a solver can be given six puzzles, one at a time, by presenting one of the unique pieces plus the five common pieces. The common pieces are composed of a set of two identical pieces and a set of three identical pieces. The puzzles are more attractive if three colors can be used. Three STL files are included: the common pieces are in two_pieces.stl and three_pieces.stl, the unique pieces are in six_for_1x2x3.stl. Multi_six_puzzles.scad makes the above files and also any of 4133 sets with multiple multiplicities.
