The Monkey’s Fist Geometric Model. A straw craft project with 3D printed connectors.
This is named after the Monkey’s Fist Knot which bears a close resemblance.

The diameters of the connectors are 10mm and can be scaled to any diameter. Eg – if a diameter of 11.6mm is required, just scale the part to 116%.
The large straws in this model have a nominal diameter of 12mm. For this pack of straws which I obtain the internal diameter vary between 11.3 to 11.8 mm for different colors.
You will need to work out the lengths of the sides as a simple exercise.
This is printed in PLA with support.
Full disclosure: Straw connectors and geometric models are not my own original idea. The concept exists (or has existed) commercially, and there are many people tinkering with this on Thingiverse.
