I'm very happy with the result, although it took some time to mix the clay to the right viscosity. The clay was not burned, only air dried. I used the 3mm nozzle and a layer height of 1mm. Unfortunately my configuration in Cura had an issue with overextrusion, so the wall thickness came out a bit thicker than expected. The geometry was originally designed as a lamp shade made from PLA for a chandelier. It derives from a fractal 2D-shape similar to the Koch-curve (using hexagons instead). The 2D-shape is varied along the extrusion path in rotation, size and fractal-depth. You can find the STL-file here: www.prusaprinters.org/prints/75521-fractal-flake-vase [link in bio] The file should be printed in spiral or vase mode, where only the outer shell is used. The geometry was created using Rhino3D and Grasshopper. -- @3dwasp #deltawasp #deltawasp2040 #ultimakercura #geometry #rhino3D #3dprinters #3dprinting #3dprinter #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing #digitalfabrication #algorithm #art #computationaldesign #fractal #grasshopper #math #mathematics #parametric #parametricdesign #vase #clayprinting #clay3dprinting #ceramics #ceramicart #ceramic3dprinting #pottery #clay #architecturalceramics #stl #thingiverse$

It is designed as an integral joint made from wood only for a reciprocal framework. There was no tracking of forces or displacement during the test, it was just a test of the behaviour of the material (which went as expected). The major failure was due to the tension forces in the lower half of the cross section. That is why you can see how the fibers were downright pulled apart. The geometry of the joint was made of pine wood on a Stepcraft D.820 with a custom 4th axis. -- #parametricdesign #parametric #digitalfabrication #computationaldesign #stepcraft #cncmilling #cnc #architecture #geometry #3dmodeling #rhino3d #rhinoceros3d #grasshopper #nexorade #structuralengineering #structuraldesign #structure #reciprocalframe #reciprocalframework #woodjoinery #woodjoints #wood #woodworking #joinery #mechanism #mechanicaldesign #recycling #upcycling$
