I'm not sure, because you would have an additional degree of freedom that needs to be constrained. With a 2D spirograph, you only have one axis of rotation. You can rotate forwards or backwards, but there are no other options. With a 3D object, there are always two possible axes of rotation. The simplest way to handle it would be to only rotate around one axis, but then you are back to just a normal 2D spirograph. There would need to be some non-linear correlation between the rotations, which adds a great deal of complexity.
