Tensegrity Table High Strength

thingiverse

Saw a tensegrity table online and got inspired to build one that could actually hold a decent amount of weight. The struts were printed with carbon PLA filament, while the base was printed in regular PLA. To prevent flexing on the corners due to tension, it's essential to use an infill of 25% or higher when printing the bases. Print six struts and two bases. I used paracord strings but you can use any material that can withstand tensile force. All the holes are 3mm in diameter; I secured them with screws to keep tension on the string, although tying them around the holes is also an option. Two long pieces of string were used for the outside, held in place at one point and secured with additional screws to fill in the aesthetic gaps where tension was already applied. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
