Girih (Knotwork) Tiles & Box

thingiverse

Experience the charm of Girih tiles, used in Islamic architecture, with a set accompanied by a custom-made box. These tiles offer more flexibility compared to Penrose tiles and feature intricate knotwork that adds visual appeal while blending seamlessly with joins. To create your own set, choose wood or plastic as your material, then cut them using a laser cutter at appropriate speeds and power settings. For the 3-line pattern, use a mask like sticky paper instead of painting directly, peeling back part of it to paint an area before fully removing the mask once dry. The idea of over/under design came from this inspiring source: http://itsacleanmachine.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/acrylic-girih-tiles.html
