Similar to my previous model of rhombus tiles but smaller (10mm on a side instead of 12mm) and with improved snaps. These can be laid out to form a variety of so-called lozenge tilings, which appear as orthogonal projections of stacks of cubes. I switched the filament while printing to get blue bottoms and red tops. This makes the flat surfaces of the orthogonal projection look like checkerboards. If you do not want to switch filaments, you can paint one side easily.
Here is an interesting paper on these tilings: https://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~vadicgor/Random_tilings.pdf
