I designed this table based on the principals of tensegrity when I was inspired by the Impossible Table done by Oak600 (https://www.thingiverse.com/Oak600/about). the principles by which it felt solid and acted like a solid thing despite being connected by only thread intrigued me.
I felt that his design, by using thread looked mysterious and impossible but it also meant that it was very fiddly to put together and couldn't support any decent weight. in my design i solved this by making the outer string used just one long string so that it wouldn't need to be perfectly adjusted. This means that it can be tied up and then adjusted after the knot is tied.
Because it uses string or rope rather than thread, and semi circles rather than thin bars, the structure is actually very strong and can support a surprising amount of weight.
Print both the support and base files twice and use a healthy amount of super glue to hold the two pieces together. Be sure to glue the second base and
