Tensegrity stool
thingiverse
Inspired by the "impossible table", this stool is built to sustain the weight of a person with two tripods mounted upside-down for an optimal force transfer. As it is build around climbing rope which are elastic by nature, this stool is naturally unstable. That's what makes it fun ! As 3D printed parts are transmitting the full weight, extra care should be ported to the choice of the printed material and to the slicing in order to maximize the strength of those parts. I chose PET-G and the finished stool stands my weight. Fiber-reinforced filament are probably a better choice.
