Twisted Escher Tessellation Puzzle

thingiverse

This educational print forms an Escher-like tessellation pattern, perfect for printing as puzzle pieces. Developing math thinking involves actively seeking patterns. Print this set three times in three different colors to create a visually striking display. It also produces a unique piece of math art.

Printer Settings Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: Medium Infill: 16% After printing, it's essential to file the edge on the first layer to ensure a proper fit. The first layer tends to squish out if not properly filed. I designed this shape using Tesselmaniac, a program that helps create tessellations, and then brought it into Modo for further development and extrusion.
