2D Ornamental Pattern Designed in Rhino and Grasshopper

This project aims to illustrate my experience, challenges ad results of an assignment given at a digital fabrication course, it is not meant to serve as a tutorial. Assignment goal: to use Grasshopper and a Python code editor component to generate a 2D grid of points using two input points from Rhino, which would be eventually extruded to create a 2D ornament parametric design.

1. Rhino
2. Grasshopper and pufferfish extension
3. Ultimaker Cura 3D printer slicer

Following the instructions provided in class, I chose the following parameters to create a design that was appealing for me.

When trying to slice the ornament in Cura I got this message. I had to go back to Rhino and increase the distance and repeat the baking and union process. After that, I exported again the object and was able to successfully slice it.
