Determination vs Stubbornness: What's the balance?

 I cannot let go of the idea that there is a way to do a sine pattern along a curve using purely Grasshopper and maths. Bryan showed me how to do with quite flexibly with base geometry and arrays and flows in GH and I did use it but I know there must be a way to do it. I just can't seem to get it.


This post is supposed to be about my experimental FDM print above where I used Grasshopper to create toolpaths and GCode but as many of my instructors will tell you I can be difficult because I find my own things to focus on.

Yeah, that's a cool and fun little experiment and all but I couldn't figure out the thing I wanted to. Even though it had no direct bearing on the end result of the project but I shall not be defeated by inability!

This stuff will definitely come in handy for future projects. Writing custom GCode is a hyper valuable tool if you're wanting to really pursue the creative possibilities of digital fabrication.


This is a hybrid of Bryan and I's method. I should probably be happy with this but for some reason I'm really opposed to the idea of flow being used here ... like it feels less accurate but I'm not sure that's reasonable of me.


If you want the file you can download it off Google Drive. I feel like there's potential to use this for infills too if anyone wanted.
