Assignment 4- Assemble

 Script for my object's joint

3D printing in process:

3D printer's 1st failure:  machine jam. from the unfinished product, I realized that raft parts cannot be removed, so it is better not to tick the "raft" function.

3D printer's 2nd and 3rd failure:  machine cannot melt filament continuously, some layers were missing.  

Script for my object's planar elements

1. Create surface in rhino

 2. Use grasshopper to extrude the surface and hollow two circles (for above two strips to go through)

 3. Create Bounding Box and set up series of planes for slicing

 4. Bake the model for laser-cut
