Assessment 2 - 3D Printing

A circle was made in GH with an adjustable radius. It was then divided into segments and frames were created at each segment
The planes were rotated on the Z axis and multiplied by Pi


A polygon was made on the path of the circle with adjustable radius and number of faces, and the points were lofted to create a solid shape


The faces were then exploded, listed individually and reparameterized to the new U,V axes. The points on each face were then evaluated to an attractor point. 
The cone was then applied to each point and its length was relative to the attractor point

Final Script 


The model was then baked into Rhino and was cut in half so that the printing process will be easier

Attempt 1: Model stopped about 1/4 way up (reason unknown)

Attempt 2: One half printed well but other half seemed to be hollow 
(possibly was not capped properly?)




Final model
