Floating Disc

This is a unique take on the [Impossible Table](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3970291)\r\n\r\nI drew inspiration from the original design and sought to apply its principles to something more than just a clever concept. While visually less impressive compared to the original "light" approach, my design boasts several advantages:\r\n\r\n- Easier printing: each of the two platforms prints as one piece, eliminating the need for glue without compromising structural integrity.\r\n- Simplified assembly: the slots facilitate thread positioning.\r\n- Enhanced load capacity: the supports' shape primarily relies on compression, and tension is handled by the threads (0.7 mm fishing line rated at 50 lbs/22 Kgs).\r\n\r\nThere's a simpler design that exhibits a wobbly behavior, which I find appealing as it amplifies the "floating" concept. A more stable variant also exists, featuring slots for additional peripheral threads to maintain platform stability.\r\n\r\n**Update 19th April**\r\n\r\nA single-support variant has been added: this version requires additional threads to achieve stability.\r\n
