Composite Link: 2_2_1 # 3_1
thingiverse
This composite link 2_21#_3_1 model showcases a tube of constant radius, tightened and visualized in two versions - thin and thick. The thin version reduces the tube size to aid visibility of crossings, while the thick version appears at full scale. These models are easier to print with minimal support material. To learn more about tight knots, visit ropelength on Wikipedia, access ropelength data from Jason Cantarella's website, and watch a movie of this composite link tightening on his 'movs' page. This intricate model is a product of RidgeRunner, a free software available at Jason Cantarella's website, which employs a numerical algorithm to minimize knot length while preserving a tube around it. It's essential to note that different functions could yield distinct shapes for the model.
