Oh, and here are some planar variants I made, too. The left one is CNC-machined walnut and maple, because it seemed like a really cool idea before I realized exactly how much hand-sanding would be involved (too much, it was too much sanding). The right one is 3D-printed nylon.

"Truchet tiling" means that that each tile can be rotated in place or swapped with another of the same shape without breaking up the pattern. To get this you need the tiles' edges to all be identical and mirror-symmetric. This is not obvious at first glance when looking at the overall tiling, IMO.
