Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
I saw the "impossible table", I had just printed a "Skyrim frost dragon", and I thought, it would be cool to put the two ideas together. So here it is.
I printed it on a resin based 3D printer, but there's no reason why it couldn't also be printed on an FDM printer (maybe just scale it up a bit).
Fun fact: According to some lore this is not actually a dragon, it’s a wyvern. Because it doesn’t have arms independent of its wings. Thank you, Reverend_Fox_1984 for that info.
I printed the dragon in the face-down/wings-first orientation so that the spikes wouldn't need supports.
Just thread the string/fishing line through the holes and tie a knot on the other side, sliding the knot, as you tighten, to adjust the tension until it's positioned how you like it.
I haven't really experimented with what string/monofilament to use, but I searched around and saw magicians thread (which is really just "wooley nylon sewing thread" that you take and separate out an individual fiber). It looks like a single "magician's" thread will hold up something like a pen or pencil or a little more, so maybe a few strands would be enough to do the job. I also saw a product called "Superior Threads - Monopoly Smoke" which looks nearly invisible, from the videos I watched, and is stronger (it's meant for quilting). I ended up just using what I had, some 20 lb test fishing line which isn't awesome, but I'll bet a 2 lb test fishing line will work nicely.
