Transformation of functions

First of all, I have switched the extrusion color from white to yellow. The results look very nice! The current print is to demonstrate mathematical transformation f(x-c) where c is varying along an axis. The result is a shift of the function - which in this case is a sinusoidal function. It illustrates the concept nicely.


As a general observation, solids seem to work much more successfully than mesh. Here is the same thing when tried in mesh. It just doesn't work out as well. I am sold on solid!

Back in business!

The new extruder finally arrived. After fiddling and firmware updates, we are finally back in business. Here is Chris Manon's first printed design.

It is entitled Associahedron5. I will let him fill in the mathematical and technical details as to how it was created.
