We started off with a lot of trying and a lot of changing. I created my own designs, but by the end of the first work day Elena had made some very cool vases and we decided to continue with her code.
This design is alot more complicated and gave us a maliable code depending on the number slider values. This was the next design that we made.
Our final design was made by Elena, a very inticate and structured grasshopper code. By minipulating the number slideres and the graph mapper as well we came up with this shape. A very perfect looking turbine/egg/razorblade vase. What I love about it is its one imperfection, the one fat line that pertrudes out on one side.
Our first attempt at making the shape failed, the PLA wouldn't stick to the PRUSA hot plate, and ended up making a mess. Elena added a rectange to our rhino file to stabilize the vase.
This print was nearly perfect. After taking off the remaining bits and peices from the plastic, we were left with a perfect shape, in fact many people wanted us to print them one. The only issue was the newly added base, that we had to have because of the last failed print.
The PLA we used changes to pink when minipulated by UV light.
