Tensegrity - with Magnets (optional)
Description
Inspired by the "Impossible Table" created by Kevin Michael Sayers, who applied the structral concept known since decades as Tensegrity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensegrity How to assemble: - print 2 plates laying flat on the print bed - print 2 arms laying flat on the print bed (you have several otions) - glue them together - if necessary (depending on the precision of your printer) widen the holes with a drill (e.g. 1mm) - attach the strings (distance between the plates 12-14 cm) Tip: For the magnet version I recomment using less flexible arms. As fishing rod and the arms are flexible, installing the magnets can be a pain because it is all about the correct distance. Playing around with different numbers of magnets and knots helps. Laser Cutting: You might see some minor design similarities to Maker's Muse laser-cut design (April 28, 2020). ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2u1vzV__PI In there you'll also find a nice idea how to fix the strings with screws. Great idea to ease the adjustment.
