Tapirot's Process Blog

I wanted to play around with lines and pipes so this is what I initially started before I crashed I wanted to create something abstract that I can print and use for other projects. It didn't take me an hour but the crashing took forever. Until now, Rhino is still not responding. So I opened another Rhino window and did a similar thing but less planar. It's weird that I couldn't think of anything I want to add for this assignment.  Perspective View Right View But then it crashed again. And I can't open another Rhino window.  Neither was saved. Truly this has to be a horror story.

If you have read most of my blog posts, it's obvious that I love eyes. Well these past few weeks, I found a Facebook group called "Many - Eyed SeraphimPꙮsting" and have found my my people. They post photos of art and memes like this: So yes I created another eyed item and I'm happy with it. Here are the definition for my vessel, the casting and the mold: Unaltered. Fresh from the mother mold. A failed baby.  Challenges: Plaster made my hands really dry and now my skin is shedding.

This form does remind me of the very first object I 3D printed on 2019 during my first year OBDF class with Greg Ball. My First 3D printed object! When I printed my vessel, the filament ran out. Luckily, someone reprinted it on another printer while I was gone. Thank you whoever you are!  First Vessel Prints. Half the size of the original.  When I placed my outline in the MASTER MOLD file, I didn't notice that it was upside down, again me being lucky, Kayla noticed and she laser cut another one for me! The vessel was to big so I cut off a bit of it using an x-acto knife Now it fits!            I was not confident in making the plaster. I'm glad Kayla was really great in helping me finish my mold! The plaster for the half negative went smoothly however as time was running out, we had to use the act...
