With these four components you can make three different Escher polyknots and a polylink. The Escher dodecahedral polyknot component will come later. The triangle Archipanel and square Archipanel by jdanders are included for convenience and are in the CC.  

Recommendations: 

For the triangular pyramid set it on its base with a height of 46.5mm and then reposition to its side to print with tree supports. 

For the square pyramid set it on its base with a height of 46.0mm and then reposition to its side to print with tree supports. 

The Archipanels and the arm should be at 3.38 mm z-axis setting.

To make the Tetrahedral polyknot you will need:

4 triangular pyramids

12 hinged arms

4 triangular Archipanels

To make the cubic polyknot you will need:

6 square pyramids

24 hinged arms

6 square Archipanels

To make the octahedral polylink you will need:

8 triangular pyramids

24 hinged arms

8 triangular Archipanels

To make the icosahedral polyknot you will need:

20 triangular pyramids

60 hinged arms

20 triangular Archipanels
