I 3D printed a pair of earrings based on a delaunay diagram that I created using a program!
Create something I can wear by Tuesday
Use Delaunay or Voronoi patterns
Make Jewelry
Base it off of Quinn’s dress
Get familiar with 3D printing and 3D modeling
Woodland Jams: My Cousin’s (Quinn) tie-dye company from Seattle Washington
Delaunay + Voronoi patterns
Most of this project was trial and error; I would throw something at the wall, and I would see what stuck.
Steps:
Learn what Delaunay and Voronoi is
Learn how to 3D model
Learn how to tame a 3D printer
Get a SVG file of a Delaunay pattern in the shape of a square
Learn how to transform a SVG into a DXF file
Change my SVG file to DXF
Import the DXF file into Fusion 360 (This step may take iterations; It took me a few attempts to get it right)
Measure how big I want the earring, and how tall I want it to be (This step may take iterations; This has a lot of seeing what sticks)
Extrude everything (This step may take iterations; This also took a few attempts to get it right)
Make a hole for the earring attachment to go in to
Export the file as a STL file
Print it out
Pray it does not fail
Put the earring attachments in the earring attachment hole
All Done!
