Here is what I believe is the last masterpiece of Avigrail. May God rest his tiny soul.

1You need a hobby. Oh, wait, you have one... and it is glorious. :) everyone else - click the image, obviously. – Rubio Nov 01 '16 at 20:20

2Oh No! Why is this your last masterpiece? – Beastly Gerbil Nov 01 '16 at 20:44

"wanted to created riddles" - hint or grammatical error? – Rand al'Thor Nov 01 '16 at 20:47

1@BeastlyGerbil According to his profile... it is implied that Avigrail has passed away irl. Not entirely sure though. Would need confirmation. – user64742 Nov 02 '16 at 03:01

@TheGreatDuck: Well, considering that this puzzle was posted, I find it fairly unlikely that the "passing away" is anything but a story gimmick. – Deusovi Nov 02 '16 at 05:27

Does it require the use of a CAD software, given its an STL file? – user14352 Nov 02 '16 at 14:44

Okay well this is what I have
There are several coloured pieces. There are four of each colour and they are positioned so from a certain viewpoint they fit together. The viewpoint seems important so here they are:
Here's the one for red![]()
And for purple![]()
And for blue (missing tile further back and hidden)![]()
And for pink
However
The greens are different. The four pieces don't join up, but make four squares with the greys:
1:![]()
2:![]()
3:![]()
4:
To me, red looks very suspicious. Especially how it has rotational symmetry order 4.

It's also suspicious to me that the entire thing is symmetric. (Or at least, it seems to be.) Maybe something will happen if we somehow color those grey tiles that match with the greens? – Deusovi Nov 01 '16 at 23:46

@BeastlyGerbil I don't understand the "rotational symmetry of order 4" – user14352 Nov 02 '16 at 14:39

1@jaydm26 it means that if you rotated it 360 degrees then it would show the same shape 4 times – Beastly Gerbil Nov 02 '16 at 16:34

@BeastlyGerbil Don't all colours have rotational symmetry? Every coloured square consists of the same piece rotated 90 degrees 4 times. – user14352 Nov 02 '16 at 16:37

7man, these comments read like a very climactic movie trailer.. two people standing in front of a huge mobile-like construction "did you notice that there is an uncanny symmetry here?" "yeah all those small pieces are symmetrical, so what?" "no.. i am talking about ..." the camera starts to pan out until the two protagonists are merely ants in front of a huge planetary system.. "the ENTIRE structure!..." – Timme Nov 23 '16 at 13:31
