"The Hat" geometrically irregular monotile

The Hat, as created/proposed by David Smith, Joseph Samuel Myers, Craig S. Kaplan, and Chaim Goodman-Strauss in March 2023, is a 13-sided geometric shape that tessellates in irregular patterns, ‘aperiodicity.’ 

After reading a couple of articles about it, I excitedly texted my partner that “a new shape just dropped!” She, being a preschool teacher said “Big news in the pre-K circuit if true.”

She's not wrong. I may not understand all the maths behind it, but the fact that this object can just endlessly be fit together in irregular ways fascinates me, and I cannot wait to print out a whole bunch of these to give to my partner's class to a bunch of children that will probably just throw them around. But we all take our own learning paths.

As long as you keep scale consistent, print at whatever layer height and whatever infill % you want.
