It appears that you have made a difference (a larger sphere minus a
smaller sphere), made copies of the CSG object, then unioned one set and
merged another another set.  I made this object in the first image by
doing a merge of the two smaller spheres and a merge of the two larger
spheres.  Then I did a difference of the two CSG objects and a box
(cube).

The object in the second image was much simpler to create.  I made two
spheres with the hollow function activated.  I created a CSG merge
object of the two spheres.  Next, I created a CSG difference object of
the previous CSG object & the box (cube).  Note that the box's texture
was made with a simple single color pigment with 100% transparency.
