Composite Link: 2_2_1 # 2_2_1
thingiverse
This text demonstrates a composite link named 2_21#_2_2_1, tied within a constant-radius tube and tightened. The slim version reduces the tube size to enhance visibility of crossings, while the thick version showcases full scale tubes, easier for printing with less support material. To learn more about tight knots, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ropelength; for ropelength data, check http://www.jasoncantarella.com/wordpress/papers/. A movie of this composite link tightening can be viewed at http://www.jasoncantarella.com/movs. The knot shape is generated by RidgeRunner software, available for free at http://www.jasoncantarella.com/wordpress/software/ridgerunner/. This program uses a numerical algorithm to minimize the knot's length while maintaining a tube around it, providing this specific model's unique shape.
