These can be viewed as a construction of
polyhexes on angled planes, with the pieces allowed to
"flex" across the joints. I coined the name "Flexahexes"
for puzzles of this type.

The hexagons here
are quite elongated making the polyforms very distorted in some
cases. However, this is the only geometry which works where the
seven planes contain a central nexus.
