For my final project I want to expand on the butterfly I created for Large assignment 4. I want to write the G-Code for the butterfly with more detailed wings by printing midair filament. I will use a L-system algorithm to create branching in the wings to make them more similar to a true butterflies wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Week of November 11: Basic Grasp of T-system algorithm and how to use it to create branches. Design a basic butterfly wing with this branching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Week of November 18: Edit algorithm to create a design with less straight edges and more similar to a real butterfly’s wing vein pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Week of November 25: Test the printing process to see how well it prints filament midair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Week of December 2: Final printing of butterfly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These works show a mixture of butterfly wing designs and modified L-system algorithms to create plant branching. I am going to use this branching technique to create the veining of the butterfly wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
