Simple Tensegrity Sculpture

Here is a rewritten version of the text: Building a Simple Tensegrity Sculpture Made Easy: A Step-by-Step Guide Using Solidworks. To create this sculpture, I employed the use of arms and bases that are easily attachable with hot glue or rubber cement. For added stability, I opted to use a slightly thicker fishing line which allowed me to tie 3-4 secure knots preventing it from slipping through the holes. However, if you're using a 5-10 pound line, you may need to think outside the box and improvise by tying around a small bead or button. My recommendation is to start with the center tension line first, ensuring that all elements are evenly spaced. Then flip the sculpture on its side and use blocks to secure it in place, making sure everything is square. Finally, take your time and carefully tie the outer two lines at the perfect length and tension.
