I determined the basic five shape of my mobius strip which is rotate from 1 to 5. However, I test it on shapeways.com, I still have the wall thickness problem. Also, I’m not really sure about the size. I will figure it out later.

This link below directs you to my first round of producing a parametric product family, I need to fix the definition a little because of issues dealing with the final 3d stl model. The forms that i have produced using the box morph definition do not show on the shapeways site so my next step forwards would be to create the same type of affect with meshes- perhaps using mesh + or weaverbird to achieve the affect I want!

Here is my product family which are necklaces pendants for man and woman. Most of these still have wall thickness problems, and I wish that I can refine them more like the shape that I imagined in my mind after getting more familiar with Grasshopper.

Still climbing the mountains……

Not quite there but this is what I have so far!  I made a series of bracelets with overlapping geometries.  The main parameter driver values are the radius of the circle, the number of perpendicular frame segments, the radius and shape of the polygons that determine the geometry within the segments, and the series of numbers that drive the rotation of the geometry, and the weaverbird mesh thicken.

I still need to rework the scale before 3d printing because the sizes are not right for size of bracelets. There are also some Shapeway issues such as wall thickness that need to be fixed.  I’m open to any suggestions or feedback!
