Hyperboloid Tetrahedron

Original inspiration: www.cs.berkeley.edu/~sequin/SCULPTS/CHS_miniSculpts/Ribbe...

He used a 3D nylon sintering printer. I figured it should be able to be made by hand.

 

My mistake was kerfing the sticks. I did it so that I could have slots to put the strings in. Unfortunately this a) allowed the sticks to bend more then they would've otherwise, b) made it so that the strings were "split." Each colour essentially flows down two "plains" instead of one. Oh well.
