There are (apparently) 261 distinct unfoldings of the 4D hypercube, a.k.a., the tesseract, into 3D.¹ These unfoldings (or "nets") are analogous to the 11 unfoldings of the 3D cube into the plane.² Usually only one hypercube unfolding is illustrated,

Q. Has anyone made models/images of the 261 unfoldings as solid objects in $\mathbb{R}^3$?

(If not, I might do so myself.)
