This is a hanging shelf concept I designed around the idea of using raw filament in a different way. Instead of treating the filament just as print material, I wanted to explore it as part of the final object itself, creating a lightweight suspended structure with a clean, minimal look.

The tensioning mechanism uses a collet with an inner diameter of around 2 mm, which grips the filament and helps hold the suspended setup in place. It was designed as a concept piece and visual experiment, with a focus on structure, simplicity, and material expression.

A few people on Reddit pointed out that filament may not hold up long-term under load, which is a fair point. For a more durable setup, I’d recommend replacing the filament with something stronger like fishing line or another suitable cord material.
