I thought I'd give it a try making some tensegrity cubes, the interlocked design seemed perfect for 3D printing. The strings are 1mm nylon so strong enough to hold the whole thing tight.
There are two version of the design, one with DIY supports and one without, I'm probably not experienced enough to get my slicer to create supports in the way that I wanted it to. I also link to the OnShape design if you need to make your own variations.
