For the final stage of this project our group had discussed creating a vessel that had a surface pattern on part of it and potentially a lid or some interlocking pieces that would add some more visual interest...but alas not going to happen now ðŸ˜
I did a quick sketch of and idea for the two pieces...
Too bad it was cut short I was really looking forward to seeing what we would have come up with!
For the G-Code generation we didn't have any problems, but in printing we struggled to get the clay to stick to the bed for running Jasmine's 'wall'. We also realized that we had made our models way to small! I had kept mine small because it was just a test but compared to the layer size it looks a little silly!
Creating the G-Code:
I am still struggling in Grasshopper/Rhino to get my object to pipe properly, I tried a number of different options but because I am now working on my laptop it just keeps crashing.
(Help Bryan why is it still coming out all spiky!! I switched to a smaller line length, and tried with 'divide length' and 'divide distance' but I still get the same result, and I tried to change the ends to round a couple times but then it kept crashing.)
Any way here is where I got to with it...
I rendered it in its spiky state anyway...it makes it look as though it is made out of Bamboo!
And some of my original sketches/attempts at designing test objects:
I did a quick sketch of and idea for the two pieces...
I was thinking that the 'lid' could be printed separately and rest on the vessel with a lip...we had discussed combining some organic and some geometric shapes that would really use the technology in a way that would be hard to create by hand.
Jasmine and I were able to run a couple tests one to see how an angled opening on a vessel would look and one to see how we could create a surface pattern with droo-loops.

And finally it has been a great semester so far, I was really enjoying the class and the content. I hope we can get back to school soon! In the mean time I have a doggo that is both happy and annoyed that I am home all the time:
