My default doodle is one of my dog Angus. So I knew that I wanted to see if I could make a Scottish terrier Escher tile. I used the tiling tool provided to us to start to figure out the same I needed. My Dog is shaped like two rectangles so I ended up starting with a rectangular shape. This was a very straightforward and fun tile to create.<\/p>\n\n\n

This was one of the more frustrating parts of the assignment. I spent far too long misplacing the ab vector. I assumed it should fall along an edge of the hexagon tile. This did not work and I spent far too long trying to make that solution work. Once I realized the mistake I made the math was fairly straight forward and I edited only a little bit of the in class code. I first calculated the vertices in relation to the ab vector; Next I mapped out where the six edges should be in both the figurative lattice and lattice data structure.<\/p>\n\n\n

3d Tiling <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I had wanted to make a cooked cutter of the my 2d tile above. I added some detail to my 2D tile and then tried to extrude in z at different heights so that my cookie would cut around the edges and stamp in the cookie details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could not get my cookie cutter to print. Figuring out the needed geometry so that whiskers connected to head outline. I then tried a few failed ideas until finally switching to a bee themed tile. I was talking about my chicken wire 2d tile and was playfully corrected that it is a honey comb tile. As I was looking at hexagonal tiles I found the connection between the bees and the resulting flower pattern poetic. So I wanted my decorative negative space in the honey comb to be reminiscent of bees and flowers. I made a tiles for the center of the flower and corresponding petals. I also made tiles for the bee’s head, wings, and abdomen. Until I switched to shapes that had the six control points like the base hexagon the loft grasshopper plug in produced geometry that is only possible in rhino. I struggle to slice these tiles too. Many of my tiles ended up being solid when I sliced my ultra Cura. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bee tiles printed quickly and easily after I sliced with the simple turtle slicer from class. I also needed to delete the bee head tile as the geometry was too extreme. I also realized that my printer had a giant glob of pla that was under the rubber cover for the printer tip. I did not realize that the rubber was dragging through some of my prints. I am eggar to see if some of the tile code I wrote for my cookie cutter was fine but was failing because of the rubber cover. The final tiles bellow show the different possible configurations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surface Morph<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I chose to use my Scottie Tile in black and white for my surface morph. I recreated a vessel from our first vessel assignment so that was no twisted surface or slight lip like my first vessel had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
