Just an intersection of 4 torii.

Like this:

// ============================================================

#macro Quadra(Thing)

  #local Angle = 180 - degrees(acos(1/3));

  object { Thing rotate 60*y }
  object { Thing rotate Angle*x }
  object { Thing rotate Angle*x + 120*y }
  object { Thing rotate Angle*x - 120*y }

#end // macro Quadra

#declare aTorus = torus { 2.445, 2 }

#declare StrangeShape =
intersection {
  Quadra(aTorus)
}

/*
#declare StrangeShape =
merge {
  Quadra(object { StrangeShape translate 3.95*y } )
}
*/

object {
  StrangeShape
  pigment { color Yellow }
}

// ============================================================

Also try to remove the commented code
