are tensegrity tables stable 3d models

Elastic bands are ideal for modeling tensegrity structures. Assembling these systems is simplicity itself, requiring only two parts to be bonded together with super glue. Every project file I share is freely available to anyone worldwide. If you...

A tensegrity display table with options for top and bottom sections comes in various designs. Banana serves as a scale reference. Used 1mm craft wire for the silver model shown, but recommend finer wire or strong fishing line instead. Wire allowed...

socket and hexagon are aligned horizontally, and the force of attraction is sufficient to ensure a stable stand... then secure the strings! Hurray! You did it! The hexagon is floating! I hope I didn't forget anything in my description. ...If you have...

Another variation on the tensegrity tables that everyone has been printing. In general, most of them I've seen have been interesting, but really, really ugly! This is attempt to make something more attractive looking.</p> <p>see: <a...

This is another tensegrity table that creates an illusion of floating in mid-air, without any visible supports. Version 2 features a revised central support angle, shifted from 45° to 60° to enhance separation between the two faces. Print one...

So when the strings are slightly tightened, socket and hexagon are aligned horizontally and the force of attraction is sufficient to ensure a stable stand, then you can secure the strings. Hurray! You did it! … the hexagon is floating! I hope that I...

... There have been numerous iterations of the "impossible table" lately, featuring tensegrity designs held together by strings and defying expectations. Unfortunately, I don't have links handy, but rest assured that these tables are worth exploring.

Tensegrity

I was very interested in tensegrity structures so i decided to design mine from scratch. It´s not perfect but it works. ... I used PLA+ with a 20% infill and set the supports for over 50°.

Tensegrity table, I saw this thing in a youtube video and was made out of aluminium. Looked cool and decided to make it myself. So drew the structure and printed it. The top disc is the one with the little plugs in the fishing line holes on the...

coffee table supported by wires

... screw holes of 4mm and 5mm for the large one. ...The middle junction of the table is designed for a strong fishing line (remember this line will bear all the weight you will put on the table !)Tag @chavant_fou_3D on instagram if you ever post a make !

Gravity-defying design, the table top seems to float above the legs, creating a sense of awe and inquisition for onlookers.

... so the chain can be neatly pre-cut and securely knotted through the holes before inserting them. As a light source hits this table, it casts a beautiful silhouette. ...If you find this helpful, consider supporting me at paypal.me/lightshadowds.

When you put a source of light on this table , it will gives you a nice shadow . The other 4 files : i divided the 2 files into 4 parts : 2 bases and 2 brackets if you want to print each of them apart and then insert the bracket into the base with...

This starts out as someone else's design (Youtube video-I don't know the designers identity) which I changed just a bit to address what someone mentioned to me might be a slight stability problem in the 1st design- that the table top might wobble...

... make a peg for the center hole, i inadvertently did not calculate it when doing my pins. (easy enough to do if needed), but not too bad to attach and tie center sstring first, as the outer strings are the more finicky.thanks to original designer !

Like my previous Symmetric Tensegrity Table (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4292334), this one uses #6 -1/4" sheet metal screws (and 2 washers each) to clamp down the transparent nylon tensioning lines. That makes it easy to set lengths for...

This is the original tensegrity illusion (floating table). ...Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzSPS3WCY2c

Those who would like to experiment with this cool project, this floating tensegrity table will make a nice addition for your 3D printing collection. using transparent fishing lines, you can make this table looks like its floating without any support....

I created a four-string version of the popular tensegrity structure/table. This model is a fun print that utilizes the concept of tensegrity to make a platform appear to float. The overall size of this is 3.5" x 3.5" x ≈ 3". I hope you enjoy this...
