Final Image (Physical Model)

I like this Image You can see depth through it, the patterns on the ball are clearly visible, And it shows a real complexity in the model, with jagged curvature and protective. spiral cage. Like the rings of Saturn, the spiral enclosure holds the ball snug yet not fully entrapped. The model is simply ensnared by the tangle of a spiral.

Final Render

This Render I think creates a space like alien type feel, which is the feeling I get from my model, it seems foreign and I think it works well in portraying the weird twisted feeling of all my models.

Final Combined Model - first print and reprint

Combining The Smaller spiral of the first print and the bigger ball from the second print, I have my final model. It Still Works but I think that if the Second print had come off, it would have been much more effective. It still shows curves and has a structure only a 3D printer could make, so im not too fussed, apart from it costing me 50 bucks haha.

I think that now with the size of the ball compared to the spiral, I think it gives a planet like effect like maybe Saturn or whatever. which goes sort of with the futuristic space colour theme, sort of anyway.

With different locations and lighting.

Second Print Brake

My second Print broke as well, it was an enlarged print and it was the opposite part that broke. which means I can use the rings from the first model and the ball from the second.
the consequence of this is that the size ratio between them is different than planned.
The Ball in the middle is a lot bigger and doesnt move around as much but I still think it works.
I then edited my rendered image to match

Model Two: Broken Spiral.

Project 03 - The Final cut

For the final three I have gone with a grey - transparent orange theme, I think it works qute well. It reminds me of futuristic designs, like grey lego space ships with see through orange windows that make it seem just that little bit cooler.

Model 01

This is my final printed model, I think it works quite well. The shape is defeniatly one suited for the 3D printer ont mad ein the workshop. Basic this is a Spiral incaging a Ball. While the spiral consists of only curves, the ball in side is a much more solid structure although round, it does use more structured geometric shapes and lines to form a simple but effective pattern. A pattern like that of bricks.

Model 02

This model once agian is based on the spiral, this time they interweave making a chaotic which does provide a sense of pattern, and is something definatily suitable for the printer.

Model 03

This model is taking the Spiral to the extreme, winding and winding to create another surface in itself. It seems to have an almost spinal feel about it, as it looks like it could a shape from the lower back  to the neck. This form creates a round surface which is definiatly not something that I would consider making by hand.

Project 03 - Reprint

As my model had fallen apart I had to make sure my model was structuly sound. To reinforce my the ball I slightly increased the segments, created multiple 'torus' shapes that coverred the joints to make sure they would be held together. And then put another sphere on the inside to make it a completely sold shape.

I then found that I was able to increase the segments in the spiral to 40 rather than 20 and still have a printable STL.

Project 03 - first printed model

After uncovering my model from its surrounding stuff. The Ball inside my model completely fell apart, It was held together, However the spiral shell came out really well.

Project 03 - Modifications to first Model

After submit my Model 01 for printing My File had too many layers so it wasnt valid as a solid bodied STL.

After lots of STL testing i discovered that is was because I had given each part of my model far too many segments. I then then proceeded to reduce my models segments unitll it gave me a valid STL.

The Spiral had maximum segments at 200 so at the end they were reduced to 20. Circle segements were recduced to 18.

Project 03 - Model 03 Developments

My last idea was to use a spiral to form an object. The tighly wouns spiral would create a wall type effect

This Shape emerged right at the start of experimenting and I really liked it.

This Shape has two ends which create a tunnel type effect which I think is very effective.

Project 03 - Model 02 Developments

The Idea when I started this was to has A spiral type shape that would move around an object, but by the end I didnt really like the way it looked and I decided to go for the basic Spiral that inverts on itself.

Trying to make movable parts,

Playing around with manioulating the spiral Came up with some cool looks.

Posible A final Model. For this I really like way each spiral varies its path individually but all together created a well structured spiral look.
