Description

This generates the kite and dart tiles and all 7 vertex figures possible with Penrose aperiodic kite-dart tiling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling#Kite_and_dart_tiling_(P2).

Tabs at the edges both link tiles and restrict tile placement to those allowed.

I've only laser cut tiles from 4mm ply. The photo shows a tiling in which all 7 vertex figures can be seen.

Inset can be adjusted to get a snug fit on laser cut or 3D printed tiles.

The tile and configuration descriptions are short but a largish set of functions are needed to created the tiled figures.

There are other Penrose tile designs on Thingiverse but AFAIK this is the only customisable version.
