Jun 18 - Project 2 Final

Before talking more in this last blog, I want to credit Peter our technician for helping me so much with my project! There were errors with my GCODE, mostly because the model was not a fully closed polysurface. He told me what the problems were and the possible commands I could use to solve them.

This blog page is mainly about using various commands.

Making a Rhino 3D object was harder than what I've expected when I started. The major problems were one, making closed polysurface and two, using boolean union to those surfaces to create one big polysurface.

This is a screenshot of a polysurface (bottom of the pot) not touching the round side.

I redrew the bottom part of the pot.

I redrew the bottom part and it looks more accurate, but I'm still not able to boolean union them. I booked a general technician appointment after attempting to print this model in the morning of the 17th, which had two major problems. The surface was not closed, therefore, the Prusaslicer did not recognize where the 3D object ends. Also, the bottom-most layer (the first layer) was not planar, but series of dots (from the roof decoration).

Rendering continued.

Added environments, table, and changed the glossy percent for the plastic (after looking at it in real life).

I imagine the pot to sit at a home/office setting.
