I tried several ways and this one fits the most with the least overlap. I thought having the smaller edges against the sides would fit more but that doesn’t work out as well.
I usually do two layers and have the second layer rotated by 22.5 degrees (half of 45) as that makes them sit between the ones on the bottom layers, the thickest parts of each are in the middle so if I lay them on top at the same rotation they tend to tip to one side and then the edge that sticks up gets burned before they are fully cooked.

Yes, I eat a lot of these ^^ they’re 60 pieces for ~$5 (45 SEK) at the big Asian grocery store in my city. The filling is a nice mix of vegetables with soy beans as protein and spiced with curry and mint, very nice with both soy sauce and sweet chili sauce!

    It hurts my brain that you somehow end up with a heptagon. The triangles, the rectangle in the center, it all feels like you should get a hexagon…

      God damn it… Look at the bottom, that’s where it falls apart. I thought the overlap was because they’re all a bit different (since it’s real life and not a perfect geometry puzzle) but I’m now pretty sure it wouldn’t work out even if they were all perfect. Gonna test it with CAD tomorrow afternoon, just went to bed and have a busy day so can’t do it before that.

      Here’s the part in question:

      Kinda disappointed in myself that I didn’t see it until you pointed it out, it’s usually so easy to notice when something off about nice geometry even when it’s just a feeling at first.
