3-Wire Tensegrity Table

prusaprinters

<p>This is another Tensegrity Table, but instead of one wire holding the upper part up and multiples pulling it down, it uses 3 to hold “up” and gravity to pull down. &nbsp;An optical illusion, though it only takes perhaps 10 seconds to figure it out. &nbsp;Still looks cool, so call it a “sculpture”. &nbsp;You could also use it as a stand for a bowl or vase.</p><p>Print two of the parts from the STL file. &nbsp;There are small cavities for hiding the ends of the wires in the arms. &nbsp;I used transparent ornament hanger wire and small beads tied onto each end of the three pieces after threading them through the holes in the parts. &nbsp;It could also be done with wires wrapped around the ends of the arms.</p><p>The 3D printed parts need no supports to print. &nbsp;Controls in your slicer can stretch it taller or squash it down a &nbsp;little if desired.&nbsp;</p>
