The briljant Rhombic Knot puzzle is very suitable as a base for different puzzles. Since the Rhombic knot puzzle is the same shape as a rhombic dodecahedron, this puzzle is quite suitable for piling up. The figure below shows an example of a variation.

Just as the pieces of the Rhombic Knot, the pieces for the variations can be sawn out of a square stick. In the figure below the different pieces are shown. The puzzle above is made out of 24 A-pieces (dark brown) and 18 C-pieces (light wood). It is fun to make the different pieces out of different kind of woods so the puzzle gets a nice pattern if it is assembled. You can also use the paper model en copy it on different colors of cardboard.

The figure below shows four other puzzles, but other variations must be possible. I have to mention that I have only made the small pyramid in real, so I am not completely sure that the other puzzles will fit properly...

De small pyramid is made out of 12 A-pieces and 6 B-pieces. The Ring is made out of 24 A-pieces and 6 B-pieces. The big pyramid can be constructed out of 18 A pieces, 12 B-pieces and 6 C-pieces. The ball is made out of 18 A-pieces and 6 C-pieces, In the picture the A-pieces are dark brown, The B-pieces are light colored and the C-pieces are greenish.
