Impossible triangles
December 18, 2011 — Impossible triangles. Here are some photos I took of an actual physical object printed by a 3-d printer at TX/RX labs, in Houston Tx. There’s no photoshopping involved (I did scale the images down, but otherwise, this is how they came out of the camera).

Photoshopped. Check out M. C. Escher if you haven’y already.
LOL, this is my favorite book: Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, so yeah, I’m quite familiar with Escher.

It’s also interesting that a similar model was the target of a DMCA takedown notice:
