Comments
When the ball rolls around the torus, which is about 3.5" in diameter, it goes around the torus 3 times and through the center hole 5 times before it comes back to a starting point. This is a kinetic visualization of the topology of the knot. This version was modified so that a .25" diameter steel ball (separately purchased, not 3D printed) fits and rolls freely in the groove.
