So far I have a couple ideas for test samples, both have some overhang so I am excited to see how they will print. On both vessels I tried to create some surface patterning as well.
From the process I have a couple questions - First how wide are the layers so we know how far apart to space single level layers?
Second how do we pipe!? I tried a number of different ways including pipe, sweep, rail revolve and ended up with some messed up looking geometry...
Third, is there a way once we have an outline to have the tool path deviate or wiggle from side to side while printing in a way that creates a surface pattern effect?
Here are some sketches of ideas:
For the first object I created a solid model then used surfaces arrayed vertically at 5mm to intersect the object and then used vertical connectors to attach the different tool path layers.
For the second one I created an outline and arrayed a shape around the curve to get the tool path then copied it in Z and scaled/shifted each successive layer to create a shape, from there I attached the layers. I think the overhang on this one might be too much.
Here are a couple from Jasmine, she is going to be experimenting with overhangs and I really like her idea of working with purposely falling clay as part of the design.

That's all for now I will update when I have images from my teammates' samples ☺
