Tensegrity structure - screw assembly

thingiverse

I discovered this tensegrity concept pretty captivating and attempted to print a model I found on Thingiverse. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the threads to stick with glue, so I decided to design my own version using M3 screws to attach the thread. Assembly: 1: Print 2 of each part and (2 bases and 2 arms). Attach the 4 threads with screws to the body and arm (screw them in the same direction as the arrows show). Keep the 2 other parts unattached. 2: Press the arm onto the base on both the top and bottom part. Use glue if friction doesn't hold. 3: Start attaching the thread to both arms by putting a screw into the unattached arm (choose a suitable length for the thread, around 50mm). Repeat the same procedure for the following threads, with a different length obviously. Be sure to keep all the threads tensioned when you attach them. Enjoy the floating illusion!
