Clockwise from the rectangular-looking one and then finishing inside with the five-pointed-looking one, these are the following conformations of the trefoil knot:
Cubic lattice trefoil
(3,2) Torus knot trefoil
Tritangentless trefoil
Fourier-(1,1,2) trefoil
Minimum rope length trefoil
Minimum stick number trefoil
(2,3) Torus knot trefoil
Petal knot trefoil
Special thanks to kitwallace who has developed code for efficiently producing STL files of parametrized curves!
