Description

make sure you have sting and glue!

Take Two Shapes of 50mm Length & One Piece of 25mm Length

Take Two Shapes Of 50mm Length & One Piece Of 25mm Length, paste them with help of glue as shown in photograph (see position of holes)

Paste 44mm Length Piece

Paste 44mm Length Piece at the center of 25mm piece as shown above.

Paste 29mm Length Shape

Paste 29mm Length Shape as shown. Hole on this piece should be away from 44mm piece.

Paste Two Pieces of 50mm With One Piece of 25mm

Paste Two Pieces Of 50mm With One Piece Of 25mm as shown. Holes should be away from 25mm piece. Repeat step 25 & 26. Now two structures are ready. Both structures are having 5 pieces each. Only difference in these structures is the position of the hole on the 50mm long piece.

Connecting Two Structures.

Two structures need to be connected using thread & match stick/ tooth pick. First of all connect two holes on 29mm long pieces. Length of thread should be 4cm from outer edge of each piece. Insert thread on inside hole on 29mm long piece. Insert match stick so that thread will be fixed in hole. (Instead of match stick, one can use super glue gel also to fix thread in the hole.)

Then we need to connect holes on 50mm long piece. There should be 8.7mm long thread length from the outer edge of the both the connecting pieces. To see how to connect refer images in the step number 30.

Make sure to adjust the length of the thread so that there should be enough tension in all three threads & they should be straight.

3D Printed Mini Tensegrity Structure Is Ready. and it can hold some weight.
