This one is a projection of a design on (half of) the surface of a hypersphere: a ribbon spans two orthogonal great circles, wrapping three times around one and five times around the other.
Kitty teeth did break it at one point, but with redundancy that’s not a serious problem. Having got my pix I’ll keep the new toys away from them henceforth.
The strand — for it is a Klein bottle woven of a single strand — is thinner than I expected, and has broken in at least two places. Ah well, live and learn; I’ve already redesigned it to be more robust.

I submitted a design to Shapeways today! I’ll tell you more if it doesn’t fall apart when I get it in my hands.
I’ve added several designs to my Zazzle store. They’re based on the concept hinted at in my last post.
