Shape 1, Triflake:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took inspiration from this by research fractals and decided on doing a triflake which is a combination of pascals triangle and koch’s snowflake. This is my form that takes advantage of floating filament as there are gaps between the layers of the triangle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

shape 2, Vessel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been enjoying creating vessel like shapes, so I thought I would do another one. This is my form that takes advantage of non planar z movements and there are also “holes” within the structure. The bottom is actually a span of lines from the center that are close together so they blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shape 3, Cone Spiral:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this I wanted to do a twist shape with hanging edges. I struggled with this one until I found that by increasing the number of layers I could get the filament to better adhere to itself. The curves on one side look really good, but on the other and towards the top the amount of layers and lack of space made them thicker\/not as detailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
