This is how to make layered art with your laser cutter. This piece is mathematically inspired from Veritasium’s video about Penrose patterns. My Glowforge allows me to make so so so many things, anything I can dream up!
You can purchase this art piece or the design files at my website: https://www.engineeredrelics.com/store
And a big thank you to The Brick in the Sky for showing how to draw all sorts of interesting patterns in Inkscape: https://thebrickinthesky.wordpress.com/2013/03/17/l-systems-and-penrose-p3-in-inkscape/
To draw the Penrose P3 I used in this project use the following values:
Axiom: [N]++[N]++[N]++[N]++[N]
Rules: M=OA++pA----NA[-OA----MA]++; N=+OA--PA[---MA--NA]+; O=-MA++NA[+++OA++PA]-; P=--OA++++MA[+PA++++NA]--NA; A=
Order: 4
Step Length: 25px
Randomize Step (%): 0
Left Angle: 36
Right Angle: 36
Randomize Angle (%): 0
