This model came from an old forum thread Rope-Length Minimization with Kangaroo with Nik’s model converted to using Kangaroo 2, based on ideas provided by Martin Siegrist and Daniel Piker in the more recent thread Simulating Rope Knot tightening using Kangaroo 2 (which see for a link to the .gh file).
The ropes are thinner than the repulsion distance in order to ensure that the printing process did not end up with ropes stuck together. The result gives the model some movement, … but is a lot cheaper to print!
