I did a pseudo-knot for my 887 - Tow Truck (check out the .ldr at
http://www.holly-wood.it/building_instructions-en.html) made of a torus and some
primitives, but consider this just a humble attempt, say just to show that even
a simple code could do the work. maybe we could put together a constraint made
out of a squeezed torus, a sphere, cylinder and some disks? BTW the string is
nothing than a pneumatic hose stripped of the outer shell.
