A small tensegrity (Tension-Integrity) study.
I redid the CAD files from scratch to make it more stable and printable.

Print instructions

Print once or twice, scale to fit.
If printed twice, the same sized parts can be put together.
Decorative plates optional.

Use three stings of identical lengh. This is very important for the stability. The fourth string in the middle should be short enough to bring enough tension into the stucture.

If done right, they are quite stable (see picture).
