I was able to finish the batteries and the magnetic top. I also got the part I am going to be subtracting from the screw top to give it the hatch effect.
So my plan changed from the footstool as I was having trouble making soft edges and rotating the pockets to face outwards rather than just up. so I changed gears and instead made a coffee table with randomly generated cubes to form the top of it. the legs and and cubes are fully adjustable with the design. I was inspired to make it look like a glitch because its fun to blend the digital realm and reality together. It would also make an interesting statement piece. Though maybe not for a house with children because of all the sharp corners. Its not often that you see furniture trying to escape its own form. This statement coffee table could be found in any modern or Avant guard living room. In reality I see this piece being made out of wood or molded plastic. Here is a scale view and the glitched coffee table by itself Here it is in a plastic material and an animation of the tabletop and the grasshopper definition
Here is a rough version of the grasshopper definition. I'm going to continue it once I figure out how to filet the edges of the main shape. The main shape is a polygon with thick legs. I started doing some work in rhino. I figured it might be easier to bring the main shape in and filet it and project the pockets in rhino first. Then I would bring it to Grasshopper so it could be altered. some sketches of what I decided to go with some of my other ideas
Here are the finished prints for my lilypond chess set. I decided to paint them with nail polish because i thought that the plain plastic missed a little bit of the details and was too plain. from left to right you have the pawn, bishop, knight, rook, king, and queen. I added a fly in thread to the king and the butterfly on the queen is laser cut acrylic. here are some renders of my chess pieces side by side and laid out on the board below are some images from the printing and laser cutting processes. The machine I was using ran out of the white I did for my first prints so I had to switch to black for my final ones. I printed the pawn, bishop, knight, and king in white. Below are some initial designs in rhino and my original sketches. I listened to some of my peers and ended up printing the kings tongue separately so that it wouldn't have any issues with printing. My original sketches Here are a few of the pieces after being printed. There is a littl...
