Interesting you should mention said weave, as just one picture to the left of my recap (of which I'm linking to below), is this picture:

Are you familiar with this geometry toy (we could call it) named "Omni Star" in the blue box?
It looks like the same weave or close to it maybe.
I took some more pictures of it this morning, getting out the instructions, after I saw your post and attachment.

Thanks for sharing that!
The BuckyBall kit shown in that same (top) picture is something I actually worked on, as a writer (not to be confused with the tiny magnet BuckyBalls, deemed too dangerous to be a toy if left around small children, which older children might do -- true of a lot of things though).

Omni-Star I had nothing to do with, just I've long been interested in the geometry toys business and worked in it some.
Other ramblings, toy-related:
I was gifted some of these rare treasures (at least hard to find in the big box stores) thanks to one of Fuller's chief archivists: Trevor Blake. I'd been helping him with moving the archive around by rental van, to / from storage.
Trevor, did not work directly for Fuller (just as I never met Wittgenstein), but rather
picked up where Joe Moore left off, another Archivist with a superior
chronofile documenting Bucky Fuller's contributions to humanity. Joe sent Trevor literally a U-Haul's worth of information.
The Muhammad Ali book is from another friend, who also lets me display his well appointed Wittgenstein library (we're both students of LW's, 3rd generation, and Nietzsche too to some extent (I concentrated on philosophy at Princeton, did my thesis under Rorty et al).
[ BTW, Sean Wilson thinks it's disrespectful to just say LW, a mangling of a saint's name (he's a listowner in LW circles), but I also write EJA and RBF. It's the shorthand of business memorandums Sean, no time to "write for the ages" every day.

Another toy I worked on directly was called Strange Attractors which never made it to market for legal reasons.
Strange Attractors was another ball and magnet system but with varying lengths, reminiscent of ZomeTool but heavier, big constructions therefore fragile.
Here's a picture of the box (I did the graphics with a ray tracer, with final production values added by Cary Kittner, then Quimby):
