I have gotten a fair way on my final. I have the measurements that I need to construct the top and a plan to translate those measurements into the smaller panels. Which is to make the general form that I need and then use surface morph with the number of square tiles I want used as panels, I can then take the results of that and make each individual piece.
The second main part of my final was printing a pattern onto the panels which will also be accomplished by using surface morph. I have the complete pattern created as well as a way to print it on a background surface. Unfortunately, the test print I chose to do turned out a little small and distorted however that is why we’re dong test prints. I also printed an object where the pattern would be printed along a vertical surface when I do plan on designing the panels so that the pattern can print flat.
Deliverables:
My deliverables remain the same as my original post-
- The 3d printed top in a wearable state
- Test prints of patterns for proof of concept
- Models/programs used to generate the components
Timeline:
The only thing that changed in my timeline was having to move up the final due date-
- Week of Nov 20- Finalize dimensions for the printed pieces and come up with a couple patterns
- Week of Nov 27- Complete test prints for proof of concept and model printed pieces
- Week of Dec 4- Complete prints for use in the top
- Week of Dec 4- Make final post print adjustment and lace together the top
Hi Lasair, your project looks so cool and elegant. I like how you made a flower print and used the base tile to help you make several of them. I also liked how you printed a test to see how the printing turned out. Good luck with the rest of your project!
Thank you! I am really hoping I can get the flowers to print out correctly on a flatter surface.
Hi Lasair! It looks like you’ve made good progress. I’m really excited to see how your project comes out. I love the flower design and can’t wait to see how you incorporate it:)
I am excited to see how it turns out too 😀
