A geometric shape that can fill a plain as a tile. This one does it in a non-repeating way.

I read about it on slashdot
A nice article about it gave me the idea to create that shape as a printable tile.
Have a look here [wikipedia.org]. It's called an einstein (from German for ‘one stone’) because it does the aperiodic thing with just one piece of tile.
I won't pretend I really understand it but it sure looks interesting to try it out.
The tile is 3mm high in this model.
