Prime Knot: 7_6
thingiverse
This text illustrates a prime knot 7_6, tied in a tube of constant radius and pulled tight. The thin version has a halved-size tube to enhance visibility of crossings, while the thick version is at full scale and requires less support material during printing. For more details on this prime knot, visit its Knot Atlas page (http://katlas.math.toronto.edu/wiki/7_6). The model demonstrates the functionality of RidgeRunner, a free software that minimizes knot length while maintaining a tube around it. Different functions can generate varied shapes for the model. To witness this prime knot tightening, view the movie at http://www.jasoncantarella.com/movs. The software, RidgeRunner, is available for download at http://www.jasoncantarella.com/wordpress/software/ridgerunner/.
