Floating Table Top - Tensegrity

myminifactory

Inspired by various models on the subject of tensegrity, I have designed another one ... ... a construction that represents a conventional round table. Dimensions: tabletop Ø150mm, base Ø 80mm, height about 140mm. To increase stability there are 4 clamping points, instead of 3, which also would have been enough. As tensioning threads I took a nylon thread Ø 0,35mm. The attachment is extremely tricky and for people without endurance only conditionally recommended ;-) Dental floss also does the job. In any case start with the middle parts. The distance there in the thread area should be about 20mm. I did it. You can do it too! Then insert the middle parts into the table top and the table foot ... into the holes provided. To ensure a good fit, the fitting accuracy is very tight. It may be necessary to correct the fit with a cutter knife or sandpaper. Then apply superglue. Have fun printing and looking at it ... it’s somehow fascinating! https://youtu.be/zarCq6YIUgU Keep well!
