This nifty knot has some funky dance moves! No real purpose to this other than fun to look at and play with. Especially if you are a cat.

This is a type of knot is known as “tritangentless” because there are no planes which are simultaneously tangent to three distinct points on the curve. Being tritangentless means that the curve can never have more than two points touching the flat surface at any given time. This is what makes models of tritangentless knots roll.

The knot can come in different shapes and proportions, but this model minimizes the vertical variation of this center of mass making it the best proportion for rolling.

The model is provided in a “textured” and “plain” version. In the “textured” version there is a small point of contact where the knot crosses, making it strong enough for your kids or cat to play with.

Sailor’s Knot Wreath (5 cord)
A “Sailor’s Knot Wreath” is a decorative knot made from one continuous length of rope intertwined to make a closed loop. The knots are classified by the number of “leads” and “bights”. “Leads” refer to the number of crossings, while “bights” are the points in the center of the wreath.

These are “three-lead, five-bight” knots modelled with three cords and five cords. These models look great with wood filament!

See here for video: https://youtu.be/jHfcsY-J5fo 

These models have irregular bottom surfaces and can be difficult to print. Try raising the model 3mm off the build plate and generating tree supports underneath. You may also wish to increase the “Retraction Minimum Travel” value to reduce the number of retractions. You may get a bit more stringing, but that will add to the rough appearance of the cord.

Tired of your kids/classmates/coworkers coming to you with stupid excuses? This cheesy desktop pun can help you get through it. 

See here for video: https://youtu.be/JsiyiJYPUkM 

For first time excuses, run your fingers along the “Knot My Problem” text and quietly repeat the words “Knot My Problem, Knot My Problem…” If the problem does not go away, increase volume.

If the excuses persist, hand “Knot My Problem” to the offender, get up, and leave the room.

If you’ve tried everything and the excuses just won’t let up, you may throw “Knot My Problem” at the whiner in a fit of frustration. 

DISCLAIMER: Don’t blame me if you injure them or break something. Knot My Problem.
