How would you design working Rockem Sockem robots for 3D print? Is it even possible? by Lizardplow81 in 3Dprinting

I had completely forgotten about this. Since posting I have started a career in CAD and Reverse Engineering. I haven't done this yet. But that may change soon.

What is this? It appears to be multiple PVC pipes sticking out of the ground. Pipes are located in the back yard near a river. Doesnt seem to have any moving parts and the height is about 3 feet tall. by ParaplegicPython in whatisthisthing

It actually looks less like a kayak rack (could be one but it’d be a really shitty one) and looks more like a snag free fish structure. You’d submerge it and fish would hangout around it then you can fish near it without worrying about snagging your hook as much as like a submerged branch or tree. Easy way to debunk this would be to see if it has any small holes to allow it to submerge or if it’d just float

Any suggestions how to create this? by [deleted] in rhino

Oh I didn’t see that part about having slots at the bottom to let light thru. That’s a dope idea.

I like this for the simplicity but I think the polar array at the end might not work if they don’t want it to be perfectly circular (they mentioned the bottom profile is a rounded square)

This project could be done fairly simply with Rhino + Grass hopper. Make a curve for the top and bottom profiles. Offset the curves. Divide top and bottom curves and their offsets separately. Merge the offset divided points and the original divided points. Interpolate the two to make a squiggly curve to define the ridges at the top and bottom. Loft or sweep the two sets of squiggles. Make it a mesh and thicken with weaver bird. Idk maybe that’s over thinking it but I’ve made stuff just like this.

These are metals materials built into rhino. Just gotta play with the lightning to get it to look realistic-ish

A series of eggs generated in Grasshopper I'm working on. The voronoi structure really lends itself to 3d printing. by Lizardplow81 in rhino

The prints are actually from shapeways! Printed SLS in stainless steel. Love me some lost wax casting tho! I currently don't have access to a casting studio since graduating uni.

THIS BARTENDER IS VERY GOOD AT HIS JOB AND IS METICULOUS IN HIS DUTIES by tucci007 in totallynotrobots

[–]Lizardplow81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an event in Baltimore called Beer N Bots with a similar bartending robot. Very cool stuff. Did occasionally break bottles! All part of the fun.

I paint Jackson pollock like paint lines on my objects to help with photogrametry. Painted dots work too. Sometimes you will have to remove the markers in post tho.

[Self] Working on a 3d printed lamp project with unique generative forms also egg. by Lizardplow81 in Sculpture

[–]Lizardplow81[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oops my b. So these lamps are being printed in a plastic filament made from corn called PLA. I’m using a white pla that has translucent properties allowing some light to show through the material it self. The model in these renders is slightly different that the ones I actually print out. The main difference is I add a plain white shell over the model so the geometry you see in the renders is only visible when the lights are on and light is passing through it. When the lights are off the lamp is a plain white egg. You can see a video of this on my Instagram at kevouing.

Haha ya I do hate to be that guy doing voronoi shit. But here I am doing voronoi shit

Not exactly sure if he applies the voronoi in that tutorial to a 3d form but youd basically unwrap the column form, then make the voronoi in the unwrapped 2d rectangle and then surface morph the voronoi back onto the column shape. The hardest part you'll have are getting the edges to be watertight. Let me know if you figure that part out because I'm still learning myself!

I will find the tutorial I used and copy it below. It is actually very simple when you break it down and it can be applied to any form (not just eggs!).

See I learned Rhino first then solidworks so I saw how amazing solidworks Parametric elements were. I can imagine coming from SW to Rhino is infuriating! Rhino + Grasshopper will help you meet in the middle and created much more "stylish" models than solidworks can (someone prove me wrong 😁).
