Or use blob maybe.  For components in the blob just two cylinders would do
okay, as in:

light_source {<1,1,-10>,1}

camera {location -5*z angle 60 look_at y}

blob {
        cylinder {2*x,0,.5,1 rotate 45*z}
        cylinder {2*x,0,.5,1 rotate 90*z}
        threshold 0.001
  pigment {rgb 1}
   rotate 22.5*z
}
