3. Circular fashion

For week 3, my motive was to include a Fibonacci type spiral at all costs. I decided to copy a spiral from a Grasshopper tutorial on how to make this spiral, as it was important that some mathematics was implemented into this task. This included the use of the Phyllotaxis plug-in (In botany, phyllotaxis or phyllotaxy is the arrangement of leaves on a plant stem). The Fibonacci spiral reminds of a Nautilus shell, the model for this type of work is Nature. My original intention was to make a interconnected textile by joining small Nautilus pieces together. The result turned out a bit different then the starting vision. Along with my teachers, we ended making a small circular bag with a laser cut engraved Spiral pattern.

Final touches

First we tested the laster cutting and engraving on denim. The piece was relatively big so it took 31 minutes a speed of 60 and power 45. The cutting took four minutes with a speed of 3 and power of 80. The red layers in this photo are the cutting layers, the black are for engraving. We came up with the black and white Spiral pattern by hatching every second segment. My teacher suggested that we make out of this, finally a proposed a pattern of two circles with joints and strap as the intersection.

Laser cut patterns

Adding a circle around the spiral pattern turned out to be successful. The spiral although not functional provided a great asthetic performance.

Code Example

Use the three backticks to separate code.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}
