n cells and square cells.3. the tringle cells to be as holles in between the extrude shapes. (in the tringle cells I don't want to contain a 3d shape).4. The extrude of Hexagon and square should be gradual: from 2d shape on the grid, to 3d shape (by extruding and atrractors point)5. than to manipulate the grid by gradual enlarging and reducing it, etc. Therfore, as start I would like to create the grid when each shape cells will be sorted in separate array. Than to flow the grid along a 3d surface.
(all above I need to create in grasshopper).
THANK YOU !Niarch…
requirements for making a valid 3D printable part. The basics are these:
1. Construct the curve forming the shape of the part (I use 6 points and an interpolated curve.)
2. Use this curve to make a Sweep1 surface
3. Extrude a small square along this same curve to make a make a square-shaped ridge and cap it. (I've tried triangles too.)
4. Make a circular Curve Array of 3 specifying the number of ribs you want. Be sure to use a rail curve that matches the sweep curve in 1.
5. Twist these ribs a specified # degrees, and then twist them the same number of degrees in the opposite direction.
6. Join 1 & 5 and you're done - almost. As I said, the top of the part will be flat, so I add a small circular cone to make it come to a nice point.
For 3D printing I had to give the basic surface thickness so I could control the amount of light transmitted through it, and also to eliminate naked edges, so Step 2 is actually more complicated than I indicated above. …
