This week, we mainly focus on the making of 3d modeling on Rhino. During the class, Marcele showed us how to make a bracelet using Rhino and shared with us several examples.
I tried with the example, and as I process with the shape of a open-ended circle I thought why not test with different functions in Rhino?
I did several attempts:
But I eventually only printed this one for it has the pattern of plant cells and fibers and that I think may be useful for the following project.
I started with building three circles and adjusted the middle circle to better fit the size of the wrist, like this:
The problem that I encountered was that I was able to connect the three circles smoothly with the loft function, So that I could only make graphs on the two surfaces separately. It would look more organic if I print it in green, but I used the red material and realized the problem after I saw the result. But this definitely can be improved in the future. And the size went wrong a bit after printed: it was much smaller than I thought. It is because of the dimensions I forgot to alter.
A little surprise: it can be used as a security locker for water bottle:
It’s impossible to open the bottle after having this on, so safe for going to bars!
wait, I can’t open it either, the size is too perfect…
Which reminds me that I can’t design a bracelet with a EXACTLY perfect size, I need to leave some space for enabling people to take it off.
I guess I need to buy another bottle of water😭
