This is my fourth contribution to the topic "Tensegrity". The main difference to the other models is that the tension in the middle is not created by a thread but by magnetism. Therefore the top is of course not as loadable as with a thread or a nylon string. But all the more interesting for the eye! After all - so I show in my video - the construction can carry a small pliers of 80g weight. Please note that if the magnetic tension is too high - for example, if the magnets are too close together - this can soon lead to the printed parts bending.

There are two tops to choose from.

As magnets I used two small 8x3mm neodymium magnets with a very high adhesive strength. Unfortunately they are only available in larger quantities, like for example

As tension string I took a nylon string Ø 0,35mm:
