An alternative to the asterisk tile with slightly different behavior. The side paths have bounceback functionality. So if one of the side routes is blocked, the ball will bounce back and drop out the center route instead of getting trapped.

A couple warnings before printing this:

• The triangle-shaped pillars on the sides are a bit brittle. I recommend using PETG or ABS.
• The pathing is slightly less consistent than on the original asterisk tile. (That tile has its own problems with pathing. Balls will occasionally go the wrong way, which happens even more often on this tile. Though the crisscross tile is markedly more consistent when dealing with blocked paths. The bounceback functionality works much better than the asterisk tile's own path-blocked logic.)

This concept was originally nostep's idea. I decided to bring it into reality.

If you like this tile, I have a bunch more on my profile!
