This is a model of a [tetrahemihexahedron], the only non-convex uniform polyhedron with seven faces. What makes this polyhedron different from the ones we're used to seeing, where the faces only touch along their edges, is that three of the faces pass through each other. The seven faces are the four equilateral triangles and three large squares that intersect in the center. The smaller right triangles that can be seen on the model are actually sections (one quarter each) of the squares; they don't end at the center, but pass through to the other side. This is analogous to the way a Klein surface (another non-orientable object) must pass through itself in order to be represented in three dimensions. It's easier to see with a [model] that has each square a different color, as in this [video].
To make a printable version of the tetrahemihexahedron, we have to resort to an approximation. Neither OpenSCAD nor the 3D printer can handle a model with intersecting but continuous faces, so t
