Hollow Form Object-Object Generation

 Hollow Form Object:

 Object Generation

CONCEPTS

Here I wanted to experiment with a simple design. It resembles a noodle.

I really liked the idea of adding a base to my design. Here I explored that.

These three were my first few designs. I explored the "twist", "bend", and "taper" tool thoroughly. I feel as though I have had a breakthrough with these in regards to my comfortability with Rhino8. Now I feel like I can be more explorative.

CONCEPTS I LIKED

Checker pieces are quite the interesting little objects. Here I took inspiration from those and tried to make something interesting using the tools we learned in class. I really like the concept of this one, and I think it would be fun to try and follow through with this one for my assignment.

This simple model I came up with is by far my favorite. I really enjoy the look of organic shapes and this particular piece appears to resemble coral. I think it would be unwise to use this model for my final project though, as it does not show that I learned the tools we have been learning in class.

Here I accomplished something more experimental. I decided it would be fun to create a tooth model. I like the concept of this one.

For this model I wanted to create something more interesting to look at, while incorporating some of the newest tools we learned in class. I really like how the detail around the circumference of the object turned out. 

Trying to Make Them Work

Here I revamped some of my models following the class critique. I wanted to round out some of the edges since I was worried that the more "square" edges wouldn't turn out. 

I think the tooth model is just so silly. Here I had to do some research and learned about the "fillet tool". I think it will be super handy for upcoming assignments.

I am extremely worried that this one wont turn out nicely during the printing. But hopefully things will be smoother with the more rounder edges. My thought was that the filament would stack nicer.

Below, I experimented further with my chess inspired object. I really liked the updated design however there were still some structural issues with some of the steeper edges.

                                                   

Here is my final attempt at fixing this model. You cant see it well in the image from prusaslicer, however there are still some structural issues and I really hope to make a successful print so I scratched this concept entirely.

         MORE FAILED CONCEPTS

After working on this for another whole day (with many different failed pieces), I am deciding to print this more simpler design. I feel like this one is much more likely to print and although it is simplified, it still proves that I am capable of using the tools we learned in class.

I spent a lot of time picking out a concept that I both liked, and could actually pull off. I learned so many new tools such as fillet edge, dupedge, planarsrf, and patch. I am excited to play around with the 3d printing interface, and I would like to challenge myself to create some more exciting personal projects of my own in the future.
