AI generated description:

"This is a 3D model named 'Knit Knot Knick Knack' available on Thangs.com. The model represents a charming and creative interpretation of the aesthetics of knot designs, resonating the essence of a knit pattern. It is intricately crafted that manifests a convoluted, circular knot resting on a rectangular base. The twisted and looped feature of the model offers a unique visual appeal and dynamism, demonstrating the beauty of the complexity. 
Ideal for decor enthusiasts, the 'Knit Knot Knick Knack' model can be 3D printed and used as a tabletop decor artifact or paperweight. If you're interested in modeling complex geometric patterns, or want to enhance your 3D printing collection, this model is a great choice.  It can prove to be a fun and challenging print. Download it today and experiment designing with it!"

Magnetic Parallelepiped Blocks

This simple shape can be used create numerous complex and interesting 3D tilings and formations.
The parallelepiped is essentially an octahedron with two tetrahedrons attached to opposite faces, so the tiling is based on the octahedron and tetrahedron pattern found in an octet truss.
The holes are sized for 1/8" cylindrical neodymium magnets, 1/32" long. This size of magnet was selected for cost reasons and to minimize the repulsive forces between the magnets at each tip. This size of magnet is not very strong on its own but suffices when there are multiple faces joined together. If you choose to scale the model larger, you will want to use larger magnets.
The six magnets at the two tips are all inserted with the same polarity, the remaining six magnets around the center are inserted with opposite polarity.
It is a good idea to clean the holes out first with a 1/8" drill bit. CA glues works well.
See here for a video on how to assemble the first and second level cuboctohedron: https://youtu.be/Fpc0BToJeA0 
The first level cuboctohedron is made with 12 individual parallelepiped shapes, the second level cuboctohedron is made with 36 individual parallelepiped shapes


Surface Slab (SplitP)

This piece is part of a set of two large slabs constructed from different varieties of triply periodic minimal surfaces.

SplitP: 

The slabs are 3 x 3 x 2 cubes of unit cells, with the central top cell removed to allow placement of a square vase or other similar type of container. Three different  heights of square containers are included.

The footprint of each is approximately 100mm x 100mm.

Tangle Weave Vase (Large)

This vase is part of a set of three. The vases are designed with an aperiodic weave pattern, meaning that the “ropes” all follow a random path around each other and around the surface of the vase. Pick a rope and follow where it goes! Heights are approximately 60mm, 90mm and 120mm.

Chain Link Klein Bottle

This model uses chain link latticing to represent a three-dimensional approximation of the four-dimensional “Klein Bottle.”

See here for video: https://youtu.be/AWJ-R3GBT80 

The concept of a Klein bottle was first described in 1882 by the German mathematician Felix Klein. It is a closed non-orientable surface that has no inside or outside. It is similar to the Möbius strip, but unlike the Möbius strip it has no boundaries and cannot physically exist in three-dimensional space.

In this three-dimensional representation, the surface intersects with itself, but in four-dimensional space the self-intersection can be eliminated. Unfortunately, I don’t have a 4D printer yet.

Modelling this intriguing shape in chain link latticing allows for visualization of the whole surface.
