Summary

My take on tensegrity. I stared in full disbelieve to the first tensegrity models I came across and needed to give it my own twist. (e.g.: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4016551)
The bottom and top halfs of this hourglass are connect with 4 regular strings - nothing else...

All parts of this hourglass can be printed separately and fit together well.

The money stl's are composite stl's, they're just there for reference and for you to pick them up and use in other objects :)
If you choose to use them: split them after importing in the slicer and you shall find the parts that can be colored separately.

Howto make this

  • Print 2x GlassFull
  • Print 2x Woodbase
  • Print MoneyPileDrop & MoneyPile-split (on MMU2S it makes a lot of sense doing that on 1 plate in view of timeconsumption...)
  • Assemble upper and bottom part (Wood+MoneyPile+Glass)
  • Fiddle your way though with the wires
    (apply some hotglue for extra stability if you wish - guide&hide de string in the channel)
