====== Computational Design ======

With this assignment, we have to experience with the grasshopper and have 3d print it. I have two years of experience with 3D printing but ı've never used grasshopper before. I was really excited beginning with the assignment.

First of all, I wanna create random pyramids with grasshopper. I wanted to print pyramids at random heights but the certain rule.

===== Random Pyramids =====

I placed my four points in the coordinate system of the rhino.

And extruded with coordination system again.

And ı duplicated these shapes.

I created Item and Scale likewise ı can control every item size but ı couldn't reach out for a certain rule.

===== Weaverbird Plug-İn =====

Basically ı followed this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqlhyGTAODQ&index=12&list=LLXilfdH385Sy2a8Ndej0VfA|tutorial]] on youtube. But ı did not complete the whole tutorial because ı just wanted to obtain organic shapes.

1. Create a Rectangular frame from the rhino. — open grasshopper—create a **CRV **from grasshopper—- select the frame from rhino and connect with CRV command—right click on point select **//set one curve. //** It turns //**RED, **// everything is süper!!!---Then create **Pop2D** --- Connect with crv--- It turns //**GREEN**// ---- Alles good.

I basically followed the tutorial at some point.

2. When the time is ready, type wbjoin, wbbloop,wbframe,wbthicken. Connect them from mesh points.

**Wbloop; ** every level value represents the number of face introduction for each object.

**Wbframe**; you arrange distance between their node points.

**Wbthicken; **the thickness between two faces.

For 3D printing, It should be min. 2 mm

I wanted to make a neckless from these organic shapes. So ı measured my neckless ı need 55 Cm long material. But unfortunately, you cannot print more than 20×20 cm space. I actually wanna create chains to print at the same time. Connected chain. But also I couldn't find how to do that. I figured out that we can choose close mesh points from the model but it was too selecting more than one points at the same time.

==== Textile 3D printing ====

So when ı baked my followed tutorial. I printed on fabric with flexible PLA.

**Tips and tricks Time! {{http://wiki.textile-academy.org/lib/plugins/ckgedit/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png?nolink&23x23|heart}}**

To print white flexible PLA

  - Put thin **sewing machine oil**  in the extruder
  - Speed of the machine 20 mm/sec
  - Enable recreation
  - Bed temperature first 90 C half of the turn off the bed temperature.

==== Jewelry for the man ====

Then I printed the same model in big sizes. I also used golden thread to connect them. I also had to chance with manually for the connections.

This time ı just used white pla.
