I understand how to lay out the solid pipes, just how to string them together to make it all pop up at once. It appears to be strung throughout in the video, but in looking at your close up images it looks like maybe some of the connections are more static.

Thanks for any help, I'm not trying to steal any ideas or creativity and I will give you credit in my class!

Each cable has two edge fixed at the solid pipes, except for the six middle strings, which are made with only one deployable cable.

Thanks a lot! while that does help a lot, I don't speak or read Italian :(

Do you have any instructions in the way of

"string from point a1-point a2, b1, c2"?

If that makes sense...
