Inspired by the "Impossible Table" created by Kevin Michael Sayers, who applied the structral concept known since decades as Tensegrity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensegrity
How to assemble:
Tip:
For the magnet version I recomment using less flexible arms. As fishing rod and the arms are flexible, installing the magnets can be a pain because it is all about the correct distance. Playing around with different numbers of magnets and knots helps.
Laser Cutting:
You might see some minor design similarities to Maker's Muse laser-cut design (April 28, 2020). ;-)
