Part 1: 2D Tiles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to design a tile pattern that was simple but still had a unique look with a uniform, curvy shape. I started with an idea for puzzle-piece tiles, but after testing it out, I realized it didn\u2019t match the style I was aiming for. So, I switched to a smoother, more consistent shape, which ended up creating a clean, continuous pattern. I liked how it turned out\u2014it felt balanced and visually interesting without being overly complex. I didn’t run into many issues in this section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 2: Printed 3D Tiles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Part 2, I took the tile shape I created in Part 1, baked it into Rhino, and focused on adding a 3D effect. My main challenge was capping the object. Using the usual Cap<\/em> command didn\u2019t work, so I had to get creative and use the Edge Curves<\/em> command as a workaround to close the shape. I also encountered some difficulty adjusting the design on the z-axis to introduce a ripple effect, but Cage Edit<\/em> helped me achieve the look I was going for. I\u2019m really happy with how it turned out and think the tiles would look especially striking when arranged together in a larger pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printing brought its own set of challenges. I had to restart the print twice due to adhesion issues. Since this was my first time printing with this filament, I made some adjustments, increasing the nozzle and changing the print quality from Super<\/em> to Standard<\/em>. These tweaks helped, and I eventually got a clean print with the desired effect. I decided to print nine of the tiles rather than four. The print took about five hours to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 3: Surface Morph<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For Part 3, I wasn\u2019t able to fully complete the surface morph. I ran into some challenges with getting my pattern to map correctly onto the target surface. I suspect the issues may have been related to scaling or possibly the way I constructed the target surface (using two lofted curves). If I\u2019d had more time, I would have continued troubleshooting, but with the time I had left, I decided to wrap up this part of the project where it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
