PROJECT 4 FINAL










Physical model still to come.

After attempting to lasercut this shape, the geometry was changed. Unfortunately when I lasercut I set the material thickness to 1mm instead of 2mm so the geometry will have to be recut.





FINAL:

After lasercutting the above model it became abundantly evident that the script was flawed and the joints were not working properly. Instead I chose to panel a sphere and due to height restrictions decided to only physically model half, creating a dome like structure.

PROJECT 4 PROGRESS

My project consists of four parts. A base and 3 gears which slide onto the base. As one gear turns the other two also turn.





PROJECT 3 FINAL

These are the Rhino images of project 3. I was finally able to make the extrusions work and the script was finally a success.





Below is the grasshopper script for the project:

PROJECT 3 PROGRESS

Initially I attempted to waffle a GH geometry I had created. Unfortunately I was unable to make the extrusions which enable the waffling to work. This was my initial attempt:






Alternatively, I created a second geometry but this time attempted to section it in 123Dmaker. Unfortunately, after 5 hours of laser cutting on half the cutting was complete. I then reverted back to my first assignment and attempted to make the extrusions work.
