Description
This model is based on the principle of Tensegrity (Tensional Integrity), which uses forces of compression and tension to create a striking visual illusion of levitation. The rigid, printed elements (under compression) are held in perfect balance and stability solely by taut strings (under tension), preventing them from touching each other. This model serves as a captivating decorative piece for a desk or shelf.
Technical Specifications and Dimensions (Print & Assembly):
Material: Recommended PLA / PETG (for rigidity and filament aesthetics).
Overall Height (Tallest vertical element): Approx. 23 cm.
Overall Assembled Width: Approx. 17 cm.
Hole Diameter for String/Cord: 2.7 mm (optimized for strong fishing line or thin string).
Number of Parts to Print: 2 (The two main structural components).
Required Additional Item: Strong string or cord for assembly (not included in the print files).
Assembly Key: Achieving even and strong tension on the central string and the four side strings.
Visual Aesthetic:
The model is visualized using a uniform, smooth plastic finish (simulating 3D filament) against a clean, pastel white background. The components feature intense colors (orange base, black upper element), highlighted by strong lighting to create deep shadows and emphasize the clean engineering form.
Application: This is an ideal project for enthusiasts of engineering, geometry, and 3D printing. It is a perfect choice for anyone who appreciates minimalism and surprising structural solutions.
