Eight different hexominos are provided; a set of 6 hexominos, "set_six.stl" and a set of 2 hexomnos, "set_two.stl". The hexominos in set_two.stl are referred in this text as X and Y and it is best if they are colored differently than the hexominos in set_six.stl which are called A, B, C, D, E, and F in the answers below. . Puzzle 1 is composed of the hexominos in set_six.stl; they are to tile the square box,"target_6x6.stl" Puzzles 2 through 7 are made by combining hexomines from set_six.stl and heptomino X from set_two.stl.
