This moebius strip is isometric to a flat rectangle, which differs from the standard parametrization. The steps involved in its creation are found in Rowley's Summer Institute 1991 report.

How to make it: Mathematica was used to obtain the parametrization, and MinneView (the precursor to Geomview) was used to view it.
