Hi ethan. Thanks for the interest. As the geometry is based on a triangular grid the adjacent edges are always parallel and so have a common intersecting plane that's 90 degrees to both edges which the circles lie on, so that takes care of the issue over slightly different planes. The waterjet I use sadly is only 3 axis so it can't manage beveled edges (I'd love to have a play on a beveljet) and there is a slight kerf caused by the jet widening the further it is from the nozzle but as long as…
Hi ethan. Thanks for the interest.

The waterjet I use sadly is only 3 axis so it can't manage beveled edges (I'd love to have a play on a beveljet) and there is a slight kerf caused by the jet widening the further it is from the nozzle but as long as you provide a little offset this can be accomodated. Precision comes from thicknesing the glass carefully by grinding each piece on a silicone carbide flatbed and doing a lot of checking with calipers. When the glass fuses at 850c it should take up the slack in the joints and form one homogenous solid. (I hope) . Anyway I'll post progreys on this forum to keep those who are interested up to date.

Hi hyungsoo amazing work. Sorry it's taken me a while to reply. I'm going ton have a work through tonight to see if I can understand the way you managed the logic here. Lots of components that I've never used before so great to have help from such and expert. Huge thanks. I would like to credit you in a vlog I'm making about the work. Would that be ok? If so how would you like me to do that. Many thanks Colin

<p>A very adventurous idea Colin! I don't know what tolerances are allowed in waterjet cutting but since your lofted surface has a slight curvature and twist, wouldn't that imply that the slots on either side of each connecting circle, for example, would lie in slightly different planes? Can the plane of the jet be adjusted accordingly?</p>

<p>thanks Hyungsoo. Kudos! I havent seen half of those components before, but ill certainly be able to work with this,,</p>

<p>everything in the model will be made from glass eventually, so ill link in the glass thickness to the connector thickness. thats easy enough,</p>

<p>secondly the pannel parts, in blue, need to have slots in them also, so the boolean intersection between the circle connectors and the pannels is split at a mid point, and each part shares an equal amount of slotting. like a waffle structure essentially</p>
<p>as I havent worked out quite how your amazing deffinition works ill need to think about how this is done. </p>
<p>all I can say is wow, amazing work and thank you,, </p>
<p>Kind regards</p>

<p>wow, from first view, looks right, any way to split the slotting between the circles and the rounded polygon pannels? in glass terms the orange parts you show will be very prone to cracking,</p>
<p></p>
<p>but hey thanks thats amazing, ill look at the way you did it and try and work it out,</p>
