“Ebony and Ivory” … live together in perfect harmony!
This is already my fifth contribution to the topic “Tensegrity”.
This object is not about a function that is to be fulfilled (carrying a table top or bowls etc.) but only about the principle “Tensegrity”.
The thread between the two hands – besides the three threads connecting the upper and lower ring – builds the tension in this object. It’s a bit magical how the physical conditions create a tension that makes this object a unit – a perfect unit. At first sight a bit confusing … you have to look twice to understand the principle.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
