A fun fidget for frivolous friends :)

If you would like a different-sized one, let me know/drop a comment and I can design it up for you.

Structure without Support

Similar to my other Tensegrity Table, but with a better looking design. I woke up one day and kind of saw this in my head, so I modeled it as soon as possible. Still looking for the time to print it out, but I'm sure it won't cause too much trouble as there are no steep overhangs.

How to assemble

Materials:

- 3 longer strings -- outer
- 1 shorter string -- center
- 1 base -- I recommend the ring, there's no need for the extra filament in the middle
- 1 top -- Orient this model 180° for printing, the file comes as assembled (upside-down)

1.) Start with choosing a suitable center string length, and getting that slotted in, making sure that the arm of the top does not drop below into the ring of the base. This will give you an idea of the length of string needed for the outer tensioners.

2.) Get the outer strings cut & tied now that you know the correct length (approximately), then insert all three into the base, pulling them tight into the chamfered slots (make sure not to put too much force on the arm if using a brittle material like PLA).

3.) One at a time, keeping the center string in place and under (some) tension, slot the other end of the outer strings into the table-top.

4.) After getting two in, you should be able to feel the 'balance' of the structure and get it in it's right place to get the final string slotted in.

5.) Don't sweat it. It took me a lot of trial and error to get it even standing, and getting it level was about impossible (All three outer strings have to be exactly the right length. I'm sure if you are good with knots/string, this would be a breeze).

You should now have a fully-assembled 3d-printed tensegrity table-top!

Confused? Leave a comment and I'll do my best to help out the best I can.
I've been debating making a video on the assembly, so if that would be helpful to anyone I'll make it.

I had an idea one day when I woke up, so I drew it on a paper towel in sharpie. With that crude design, I mocked something up in Fusion 360. After a few iterations, mostly of the connectors for registration when gluing, I ended on this design.

The loose version has a tolerance of 0.4mm between the parts (the registration bits for lining up and better grip when gluing), while the standard version has 0.1mm. The standard is designed to be a snug fit, and require minimal glue to stick the pieces together.

Speaking of gluing, the barrel can be tough to keep straight. My trick is to fold some paper down to a few ~5mmx5mm squares, about 4 layers thick if using the standard white notebook paper. These can then be wedged in on multiple sides of the barrel, allowing for inwards pressure on the sides that need it. Hopefully that makes sense, and happy gluing!

Body of the prop. Could also be considered the 'slide' piece.

I wasn't happy with any of the fidget cube designs I could find, so I made one that I actually like. I whipped this up in Fusion 360. 


The shallow version just makes the cup (the worry stone kind of thing) more accessible for larger fingers or people with long fingernails.
