Mainly Brushes but also just some fun stuff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My Project mainly focused on different ways to make brushes and more specifically different ways for me to design G-Code to make the brushes. Looking at the examples given on the G-Code assignment page. I saw that they were using bridges as the main way for them to make the bristles. It worked pretty well. So I started there but I didn’t want to waste material on creating something I was just going to cut off anyway so I made my bridge one strand thick. Then I let the bristles rest on that bridge and built everything up that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cool, we can use a bridge but this didn’t necessarily feel like something that I couldn’t use a slicer for. I’m sure the slicer would not like what I was trying to do with as little support as I gave. But If I forced the slicer through it probably would have worked. So the next step was to create something that was more G-Code focused and had a few more interesting paths the extruder would take. I also wanted to work on the different shapes. So I modified the polygon function to create the shape but turn out and make a loop and continue the shape. It worked great! It makes a stronger brush in my opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last I created a fun little design that was small and was based on the interesting designs that the ceramic printers were doing. The goal was to create an interesting texture on the side of a 3D print. So instead of going straight out and making a loop, I would go out move over, and circle back in. It leads to a cool wire look on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
