Oh sure,  now I need to plagiarize and make a 3D maze with hexes...   Damn

Good luck!
I'm having a bit of difficulty visualizing a 3D hexagonal maze, myself.
Not sure what the symmetry should be, unless you just want to stack the
hexagons one atop another.

You could probably use rhombidodecahedrons (phew!). They look like hexagons
from one angle and squares from another angle. I'm pretty sure they would
fit into each other nicely, but I haven't really tried.

Of all regular polyhedra, only cubes tesselate, I believe...
Try saying small rhombic triacontahedron three times fast! (Or small
hexagrammic hexecontahedron...)

	True, but rhombidodecahedrons aren't regular polyhedra :)
