# Rombix Generator OpenSCAD code that generates Rombix tiles, invented and patented by Alan H. Schoen in 1997. You can buy a copy of this puzzle here, made out of laser-cut acryllic: http://www.gamepuzzles.com/esspoly3.htm Please note that you need to have a reasonably well-tuned printer for these pieces to fit together. The default configuration generates 36 pieces that perfectly fill an equilateral 24-gon. The code generates any n^2 set of rombix tiles that will completely fill an n-gon with 4*n sides. # A set of rombix pieces are defined in the following way: Take N rombuses whose corner is of N even divisions between 0 and 90 degrees. Join any subset of one or two of these rombuses along a side Do this for all combinations of N rombuses Discard all duplicates that results from either rotations or reflections With some refactoring of the code it may be possible to fill an n-gon with 2*n sides. I've yet to play around with this. # You can use the openSCAD file to change any number of parameters, including: The fillet radius Number of tiles Size of the tiles Spacing between the tiles https://gitlab.com/ransElectronics/Rombix-generator
