I decided to create this model after having taken a look at some of MC Escher's tessellation artworks. I took a more nature based approach, basing my tessellation on three different animals: a bird, dog and fish.

I highly recommend that you print the different tiles in different colors

(eg. Bird \u2192 Blue, Dog \u2192 Yellow, Fish \u2192 Green)

To print this model, I recommend using a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.15/0.2mm layer height.

I have provided .3mf and .stl files along with .step files, so feel free to tweak the model to your needs. To allow for an easy assembly, I have inset each tile by 0.15mm. If you do decide to print this model, I would be grateful for any feedback you could give (especially regarding tolerances etc.)

For our 50th flash contest, we are challenging you all to make tessellating tiles. Tessellations are repeating patterns of all the same shape that interlock with each other with no gaps. The artist MC Escher was famous for his tessellation art and hopefully some of his work can inspire you. Don\u2019t worry if you have never made a tessellation before, there are lots of videos available showing how to make it work. All valid entries must be more than basic shapes, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, and other basic shapes will not count. We look forward to seeing what kind of patterns you all come up with.","isOpen":false,"__typename":"CompetitionType"}],"contestsResults":[],"prusameterPoints":null,"latestContestResult":null,"referencingArticles":[]}}}
