tensegrity model

This is a headphone stand based on tensegrity structure. It is built up with 6 pieces of 3d-printed parts and connected with no elastic cord. From another aspect, it consists of 3 tetrahedrons. I assembled this stand by connecting the parts by...

The tensegrity structure is not the only type of geometric figure in which different rigid parts do not touch each other and are connected only by a thread. If you connect two tripods as in the proposed thing, you can get the basis for the table. ...

Amazing device showcasing the principle of tensegrity, where stability is achieved through a perfect balance of tension and compression forces. This remarkable object boasts several advantages, including a concealed wire system that simplifies...

Amazing object which demonstrates the principle of tensegrity, which allows a structure to be stable by a balance of the tension and compression forces. This object has the advantages of hiding the wires and there is a wire tension system for easier...

Was going for a more striking yet stylish model to show off what can be done with a 3d printer.Designed for 0.3mm layer height, as the strings are 0.4mmx0.3mm. Probably won't scale well, but might be possible. ...Just need to watch the dimensions of the...

Once printed, the model seems to shift and squirm in your hands until every last string is securely fastened. Strategically placed peg holes reside at the X's crotch area, perfectly accommodating a q-tip swab shaft for added stability as you thread...

My take on the tensegrity table.  Slides together.  No glue.  Prints with no supports. ...Requires rubber bands.  Double up the middle band. 

Will you find the balance?

A small indoor planter that floats with the power of tension! At its current scale it's a bit impractical to use the "grill" piece, however I've included it in the design in case it becomes worthwhile at a larger scale. ... I've used some fishing line...

Ciao a tutti Ho iniziato a modificare l'oggetto di winfordew (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4939307) perché non volevo usare supporti, la mia idea era solo fare qualche taglio, ma ho finito per ridisegnarlo. Per bloccare il filo, usare un...

I made this from a YouTube video that showed a guy building it. ...I had to do my best to guess the dimensions and scale.

I designed this unique piece as a dynamic equilibrium structure, creating an optical effect where it appears to be suspended in mid-air by two slender wires attached to both ends of the chain and its base. ...For a closer look at my creative process...

It's pure, unadulterated science that's behind all of this!

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...

It's been designed to enable the chain to be pre-cut, knotted and threaded through the holes in advance. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this. Thanks. ... 3D PRINTING SETTINGS Print Settings: 0.15 mm speed, infill at 20%, Fill pattern...

i added vertical tabs to attach the string. and i made small pegs for this.NOTE - this peg is about 2.2 mm; the original hole i created is 3mm, but i scaled it to 80% when printing. so the peg needs to be custom size to your scaling.the peg allows...

I used fishing line glued in the holes. ... Printed with 1mm nozzle, flow 110%, in 3 hours.
