Multicolored Pendants

thingiverse

Three multicolored pendants are created with base components featuring recesses for hexagons, squares, triangles, and rhomb inserts. These attractive pendants exemplify tilings, with two regular polygon-only designs and a third incorporating rhombs. For an insightful explanation of regular and rhomb tiling, visit Kevin Jardine's comprehensive webpage at http://gruze.org/tilings/. To fabricate these pendants, use base_01.stl, base_02.stl, and base_03.stl files for bases, along with hexagons.stl, squares.stl, triangles.stl, and rhombs.stl for the inserts. OpenSCAD code is also provided, enabling you to replicate a variety of tilings featured on the website. For optimal printing, place bases directly on the build platform. Inserts are slightly smaller than recesses, ensuring easy assembly. A q-tip dipped in acetone works well for gluing the inserts into place, with just a small amount of adhesive placed in the center of the recess. These pendants can also be glued back-to-back to function as Christmas ornaments.
