Introduction: Nested Pots Using Rhino and Grasshopper

By

We had to design and print nested objects using Rhino, grasshopper, Ultimaker Cura, and the Ender 3 3D printer. I design small pots for succulents with a specific space to add handcrafted details to them.

Supplies

  1. Rhino 6
  2. grasshopper
  3. Ultimaker Cura slicer
  4. PLA 3D printing filament
  5. Ender 3
  6. mini pliers

Step 1: Rhino

This design was archived by following the instructions provided and with the help of Ana Cardenas. (thank you).

Step 2: Ultimaker Cura

I designed three small pots for my succulents plants. They have an indentation made with the idea of gluing a braid made of yarn or macrame as a handcrafter detail.

Step 3: Challenged With the 3D Printer

The first printing efforts were made using a white filament. There is a possibility the filament absorbed water and became humid. This was causing the filament to constantly break when loading.

Step 4: Final Pieces

After changing the filament, the pots were able to print successfully. However. they were not stackable as expected.
