Final Project Update

My project is creating an Egyptian pottery (Olla) with a Morrocan lantern style on its surface. I am to use the tiling project to aid with this final project.

Progress

The progress I’ve made regarding this project was creating the tile shape and finalizing the Olla design. The coding section of the tiling is still in progress. I am still figuring out how to place the base tile onto the OlIa itself. I printed a small version of my pottery to test the printing process and that went successfully.

I was satisfied with my surface tile design. I did this by merging several shapes together to create a geometry that matched the idea of a Morrocan lantern pattern. As for the Olla, I looked at various variations of what Ollas looked like and I liked the one with a long neck design and wide center. The physical printed version is the Olla before including a surface of tiles.

Deliverables

• A program script that will print the surface of the pottery. How to carve/extrude out the surface of the pottery without ruining the design?
• A printed small sample before using the ender printer to print the larger final print. Additionally, testing the new matte filament.
• Several design code presents a variety of different patterns to create a set of unique objects.
• Maintains one design structure of the pottery.

Timeline

• Completed: November 1: Work on code that generates patterns using Rhino shapes.
• Completed: November 10: Finalized the pot structures set.
• Completed: November 24: Print the structure on a small scale using the ender printer.
• November 30: Merge the design pattern on the surface of the pottery and adjust what is needed.
• November 30 – December 5: Begin printing large-scale design.
