Description

This is my entry to the flying object competition..
So i have been brainstorming of a design i can make for the competition and i knew i will make a suspended model for it..
But to make it different than my usual suspended model i need to add another element.. that's where the tensegrity comes in..

Tensegrity is basically a model that is floating solely by the tension integrity from the weight of the model itself.. in other words.. the X-wing will look like its floating and only supported by the suspended strings..
Like all my suspended model.. it will be printed in one piece except for the 4 back thruster engine.. that needs to be installed after print..
Once printed.. you need to be very careful when getting it off the bedplate since unlike other suspended model.. this one is held by very little strings.. the wings are held by 10 strings in total..

I have also prep the model so that you can easily paint parts for multicolor prints..

I've made the model small in size cause of the weight of the x-wing that the strings will have to bear.. and so that our A1 mini owners can join in the fun of printing this suspended tensegrity model

One important thing to remember is to set the wall generator to arachne from classic.. this will make the slicer print the strings..

I hope you guys have fun printing this suspended tie adv fighter

@fay3dlab

no supports.. ni brim.. change the wall generator setting to arachne.. thats about it.. other setting i just used the default bambu studio..

@mrshep08

amazing print

The designer has replied

@fay3dlab

Looks awesome.. Did you have difficulty getting it off the plate? The strings are very fragile..

@user_3193815352

no it was not a problem even though I broke 2 strings. still everything is great. great job with a model

Perfect. came out very great. perfect print. thx 4 share this model

Congratulations on printing this.. Looks clean too.. Good work..

@Sunil3D

Could somebody please help me? I tried it three times now but every single one failed either at the first or the second layer. For me it seems like the printer stops extruding in the middle part of a layer which is why it then starts to make this blobs. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks

The designer has replied

@fay3dlab

That is weird.. I've never seen the printer do that before.. Did you try using different filament?

@Sunil3D

Replying to @fay3dlab :

Thanks a lot! I first used grey PETG and it did this weird thing. I now tried white PLA Matte and it works great. Maybe the PETG is wet or something else.

very cool print, ended up printing with a brim outside only ( don’t think it needs it, had one fail but think that’s down to heat creep, as I didn’t open the door) i did gyroid rather than grid for the infill as I know grid has a tendency to clip parts and didn’t want that happening again. boy does it look amazing, has one of the thrusters fail each time, not an issue it’s 30 mins to print 4. rotated the thrusters to wide end touching the plate. and then used outside brim.
