One has to be quite careful building this shape, especially the right order for connecting units is important. The shape is an intermediate between Schwartz' P and D surfaces, when observing a capsule as a chamber with 6 exiting tunnels it is the P surface, when observing each capsule as two parts with 4 exiting tunnels each it is the D surface. In the middle of each capsule there is a narrow part that makes it fair to think of this shape as the D surface.

![Different polarity systems in 5x5- and 6x6-squares, magnets tutorial
This video shows that 5x5- and 6x6-squares can be made with different polarity systems. It is a video response to Dimitri Tishchenkos video [Tutorial] Squares where he attempts to make different 4x4-squares. With the string method I use to prove that two squares have a different polarity system, all possible constructions of a 4x4-square behave the same. This does not prove that they all have the same polarity system, but probably they do. Yet 5x5- and 6x6-squares CAN have different polarity systems as shown in my video.
