This is my entry to the flying object competition..
So i have been brainstorming of a design i can make for the competition and i knew i will make a suspended model for it..
But to make it different than my usual suspended model i need to add another element.. that's where the tensegrity comes in..
Tensegrity is basically a model that is floating solely by the tension integrity from the weight of the model itself.. in other words.. the X-wing will look like its floating and only supported by the suspended strings..
Like all my suspended model.. it will be printed in one piece except for the 4 back thruster engine.. that needs to be installed after print..
Once printed.. you need to be very careful when getting it off the bedplate since unlike other suspended model.. this one is held by very little strings.. the wings are held by 10 strings in total..
I have also prep the model so that you can easily paint parts for multicolor prints..
I've made the model small in size cause of the weight of the x-wing that the strings will have to bear.. and so that our A1 mini owners can join in the fun of printing this suspended tensegrity model
One important thing to remember is to set the wall generator to arachne from classic.. this will make the slicer print the strings..
I hope you guys have fun printing this suspended tie adv fighter
