Many models appeared recently after the discovery of the aperiodic monotile family.

More about the mathematics behind it here:

Here's my interpretation of the “Turtle” variation, along with a Fish version that is exactly the same shape.

Here I printed the fish tiles as mirrors of the turtle tiles. You need around one mirrored tile for every seven not mirrored.
You can also print only turtles or only fishes, only remember to mirror some of them along this ratio.

No need for a multi-color printer, only filament changes between layers. They are all implemented in the 3mf files.

I printed in PLA with 0.3mm layers, nothing special about that, except for the filament swaps.
I guess you could also try monochrome versions.

I also uploaded a 3mf file with 13 turtles (80mn print) and another with 4 fishes (23mn print).
