About this model

Amazing object which demonstrates the principle of tensegrity, which allows a structure to be stable by a balance of the tension and compression forces. This object has the advantages of hiding the wires and there is a wire tension system for easier mounting ! (Cf. photos) You can change the print scale between 80% and 120% to keep it working properly. For mounting, use nylon wire (fishing wire). The distance between the two bases must be approximately 95 mm. Don't hesitate to share your makes !
