Design Project: Generate 4 Configurable Clips

Hello I'm in a design school in France.

I nead some help to finish my project. I want to do strata objects. I can generate the strata but I have some difficulties to generate correctly the strata between them. I made so drawing to explain the shape I wannt to givve to my object.

I don't really nead 3D because my object will be print in a laser cut. So I just nead the drawing of the pieces.

I give you the GH and the rhino. For the moment someone help me to build one clip. But there are bugs on it when I change parameters.

Rhino file: TESTPAUL.3dm

Base GH file: TestPaulGH.gh

V2 GH file: TestPaulGHRev1.gh

You have to bake each ring or strut individually with it's associated 'slotting' curves. Group each baking operation in Rhino immediately to keep the curves and surfaces properly associated with each other. This can probably be done in GH but I don't see how to do it yet. Also I haven't spent any time looking at the problem with the base and upper ring where the intersections are centered in the ring.

Thank you for your help. It's nearly perfect. I just have to do some little ajustements. The shapes have to be printable by a lasercut. Like this: (If you have an idea...)
