Bolt and nut - held by wrenches - connected by a thin thread, keep a fixed distance to each other and give the whole object a stable structure. It is a fascinating experience when, after the 3D printing and the assembly of the individual parts, this tension is suddenly created when setting up the object: TENSEGRITY!

To get a better impression of the object and also about different color combinations, look here: https://youtu.be/pZx732S_ShU

After printing all parts, start by connecting the screw and nut with a thread (I used a Ø 0.35 mm nylon string. Thread or dental floss might also do the job). The distance between screw and nut should be about 25mm.

Then insert the wrench parts into the existing recess of the top and bottom part. NOTE: To ensure a good fit, the fitting accuracy is very tight. It may be necessary to correct the fit with a cutter knife or sandpaper. Then apply superglue. For a correct alignment you should use a stop angle!

Now comes the more difficult part
