STEM Stix Construction System
These are the components need to build construction straw kits for 4 polyknots and 1 polylink.
These are the components needed to build 4 different Platonic polyhedra inspired polyknots and1 polylink. The construction straws are not included and must be purchased separately. I use Ggiibro construction straws. They are available at Amazon.com. The components are scaled to fit these straws.
