Very simple design for Kashakas. There's one half of a hollow sphere that has a lip that fits into the other half of the sphere. The lip portion on both halves has a small groove where you can put a 1mm CS/41mm ID o-ring for a kind of detent closure. That said, the one I printed didn't need it at all, it snaps together perfectly. Just tight enough not to come apart in use, but still loose enough to get back apart if you squeeze hard enough. The sphere is 45mm in diameter, and the thickness of the walls varies between 2mm at the hole ends to 3mm at the sides. The hole is about 4 or 5mm in diameter, I forget which. Perfect for standard paracord. For each half of the sphere, there's a version with and without the hole. That way you could make two versions; one where the knot is tied inside the sphere, or one where the knot is tied outside the sphere. **PLEASE** look at the printing note about exclusive mode!! Or else it won't work right.
