Floppy wireform


This wire-form model shows the problem of stiffness. The materials have sufficient stiffness but the joints have too many degrees of freedom.

Main wire: 1.57mm galvanised steel.
Binding wire: 0.8mm.
Holes: 3 x 1mm.

The base needs to be bigger, and the platform needs to be smaller.
