This video shows a surface that is a variety on Schoen's F-RD surface that, for now, I named the extended F-RD surface. In the F-RD surface, 1/8th of the unit cell generating the surface looks like a 3x3x3 cutout of Schwarz' D surface (as explained in the video). In the extended version of this surface, a 5x5x5 cutout is used as the 1/8th unit cell generating the surface. A full unit cell made of magnets with this method would require 48960 magnets, I don't have that many... Of course 7x7x7 or larger odd cube cutouts are possible too.
