After Class

• Comment on at least two reflections by others (you are welcome to comment on more than two!) google slide deck.

• Complete the project assignment (below).

• Create an Instructable documenting your project. Your instructable must be completed by 10AM Tuesday morning April 26th.

Assignment

Create a 3D printed object with GCode generated in Grasshopper.

• Option 1: Create a 3D Printed Textile

  • Use the sample code for the 3D printed textile demonstrated in class based on work by Takahashi and Kim.

  • Modify the parameters to produce a custom textile structure. You may also choose to modify or extend this code to produce different textile geometries.

  • Print the resulting output.

• Option 2: Create your own slicer in Grasshopper

  • Use the sample code for the basic slicer demonstrated in class

  • Modify the code to support the printing of a specific geometry. This can be as simple or complex as you choose

  • Print the resulting output.
