Penrose Kite and Dart Covered Jigsaw

Penrose Kite and Dart Covered Jigsaw

Description

These are Penrose kite and dart tiles that fit together like jigsaw pieces. Unlike jigsaw pieces, the holes are covered above, so after fitting them together, one side looks like a pure polygon tiling. It takes a little practice to rotate the pieces into place, but once connected, they hold very well and the tiling is liftable. I recommended printing kites and darts in different colors and have separated them into two files for that reason. The concept is pretty simple, but it took some trial and error to get the spacing right so the pieces snap easily and hold together. Your results may vary by printer and material. The photos show a set done on a Flashforge Adventurer 3 pro using black and white PLA. This object was made in Tinkercad starting with layers made in Inkscape and imported as SVG.
