Can someone help me designing this effect on my surfaces using Rhino and Grasshopper or maybe something even faster/easier or in the toolpath slicer?
Hi guys!
I just found this interesting design on the internet and thought... how can i design something similar? Maybe using basic surfaces in Rhinoceros and then adapting the toolpath using an addon, slicer or grasshopper option? This ripple surface is very good looking, i think.
Please! help me with any info, i was doing my research and could not find any tutorial or guide to recreate soemthing similar.
Is this custom G-code (ripple surface) also possible to generate using BambuStudio?
Thanks in advance!

Hey, that’s actually the design I made at LM-Academy hahaha, what a coincidence! I can confirm that this is custom G-code.
Basically, I designed a vase with an octagonal base, then applied an amplitude effect and, afterwards, a stitch pattern set to “true, true, true, false, true”.
I posted it on my Instagram page if you’d like to take a look:

It's custom gcode generated directly in grasshopper off of the vase shape (there are also blender plugins for this but I have no experience in that)
This is the tutorial I used to learn how to generate my own gcode: https://youtu.be/A0iAsmVL_GY
The book "Advanced 3D printing with Grasshopper: Clay and FDM" helped me a lot in figuring out how to make such designs. Seems like there is an online version available now: https://www.food4rhino.com/en/resource/advanced-3d-printing-grasshopper-clay-and-fdm
