(New Zealand) Pentiamonds (18 sets plus 3) P2

TFisherYork — Sat, 06 Oct 2012 15:41:13 GMT

There are 4 possible different 'pentiamond' shapes, as shown in the photos. This item consists of 18 sets (i.e. 72 pieces, a set being 4 pieces, one of each shape) plus 3 extra pieces. The main photo shows two of the many shapes which you can make with one set. A crayon and a coin (US quarter) are shown for scale. The following is a link to a pdf file with several puzzle shapes to try to make with a set of 4 pentiamonds. You should be able to print the pdf and have the puzzle shapes come out the same scale as the puzzle pieces, so you can work right on top of the printed puzzle as you try to make it from pentiamonds: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B80etP8uQhDgZzU4azJyZUxXTFE A couple of the photos show the puzzle pieces with the paper backing still on them. The paper backing looks quite nice on one side, as shown, but on the other side there are visible burn marks in the paper from the laser cutting process. So you will probably want to peel the paper off.

This is the design file for the pentiamond puzzle pieces item in my showroom. From a P2 (15.75" x 15.75") sheet it makes 75 puzzle pieces: 18 of each of the 4 pentiamond shapes, plus 3 extras. One of the photos shows the design; others show the puzzle pieces made from this design and a couple of the shapes you can make from them. As of Sept 23 2012, Ponoko will make this design from 3 mm acrylic for: $10.99 (material) + $14.67 (laser-cutting) + approx. $11 (shipping by UPS ground to lower 48 U.S. states).

This is just a combination of 1 P2 (15.75 inch x 15.75 inch) sheet of tetrahexes (8 sets, 56 pieces) and 1 P2 sheet of pentiamonds (18 sets + 3 extras, 75 pieces in all). If you want both of these then you will save $12 (including shipping) by getting this, compared with getting those items separately.
