A self-similar set with non-locally connected components

Luo, Rao and Xiong Topol. Appl. 322 (2022), 108271 conjectured that if a planar self-similar iterated function system with the open set condition does not involve rotations or reflections, then every connected component of the attractor is locally connected. We create a homogeneous counterexample of Lalley-Gatzouras type, which disproves this conjecture.
