{"product_id":"tensegrity-table-with-swappable-top","title":"Tensegrity Table with swappable Top","description":"\u003cp\u003eI created this tensegrity table as another engineering challenge for myself. I've always thought these tables were a fun demonstration of outside-the-box thinking. Supporting a weight normally involves a compression-type support, but doing it in tension is a fun idea. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe table holds a full soda can without stressing. You can adjust the height of the table some, use 3 links in the center for a more stable table, and use 2 links for a taller, but less stable table. One link should also work if you are careful with your outer chain adjustments. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe top is a floating insert that you can swap out with your own design to add a cool icon or color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe soda can is included in images for scale, and demonstration of strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chain attaches with eye bolts for easy tension adjustment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1: Print all the parts. (Print the plate with the base twice. )\u003cbr\u003e2: Screw the 10 eye bolts into the 2 bases (5 each). The 4 outer bolts only go one way. The center eye bolt should be facing the square of the base. Do not tighten the eyebolts past a light snug.\u003cbr\u003e3: Assemble the chains. The table in the picture has 7 chain links on the outside and 2 chain links in the middle.\u003cbr\u003e4. Attach the chains to the eye bolts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustment Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1: If the table tilts to one side or the other, you can tighten the chains on the high side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1: For tiny adjustments, remove the chain from an eye bolt, rotate the eye bolt some, and re-attach.\u003cbr\u003e2: For moderate adjustments, you can rotate the eye bolt without removing the chain, and the twist in the chain will add tension.\u003cbr\u003e3: For large adjustments, you can disconnect the chain, twist the chain in your hand, and then re-attach in the twisted state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2: If the table wants to twist, then quarter-turn one of the center eye bolts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by BigScorch on MakerWorld (license: BY-SA).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67383207264560,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_409cb011-682a-49f4-89d5-836b678c511f.png?v=1784492271","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/tensegrity-table-with-swappable-top","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
