Very interesting.  :)

I wasn't completely sure of the exact shape of the object(s) but had a feeling for what they would be.

No....   My brain is trying to compute that... and failed.  :D

Brilliant.   So much hard work has gone into making those shapes and getting the angles right. 
Well at least we know that it was real even though it only works with specific lighting and angles.  It would have been so much easier to do it digitally.  :D

Yes I wondered if someone would post the how to do it version.... I suppose in some ways it was done digitally in that a 3-D printer was used  ;)

I wonder how a basic 3D-printer will cope with, say, Penrose stairs, the Penrose triangle or a Möbius strip:D

It would be fun to try :)

On reflection, the Penrose stairs can be made very easily. All you have to do is slope each step down towards the back so that overall the stairs don't rise at all.

Here's one of my favourites. 

Watch this one first...

Then this one shows how it's done.

I actually made a copy out of some old timber.  Nowhere near as good as the original, and propped up on long pegs rather than ropes, but it was suprisingly effective for just a couple of hours' work.   Pity I can't find my own photos.   :)

I can't see a problem printing Penrose stairs. 

I'm pretty sure Möbius strips should be printable too, after all they can be made out of cardboard, with a little glue.  Or am I missing something?

Impossible triangles... I'd say No.   They do 'exist' and are on display in various places, but all depend upon a perfect viewpoint to create the illusion, as per the impossible crate I posted.

Happy, as always, to be proven wrong.   In fact this time, happier than ever to be proven wrong, these things do fascinate me. :D
