The Basic Piece
The basic piece in the system is a triangle. We hope to add other regular polygons shapes soon, should you with to build Archimedean polyhedra or other craziness. The design is creative commons share-alike so feel free to develop the pieces yourself, just let us know so we can put them up here!
To get from a triangle to the actual block, first cover the edge with circles. Remove the ones at the corners (this is essential for hinging) and make the rest of the edge a wave.
This shape can be cut out with very little wastage, as the individual pieces tile together.
