I made this bowl shape
from a simple arrangement of 2 circular arcs arranged to make a single planar closed curve:
To make the 3D shape I used Divide Curve to create points along the curve and then moved each point up by a value equal to it’s distance from the origin. Then I used IntCrv to make a single closed 3D curve which I fed to Pipe to make the final 3D printable shape.
In order to make a functional bowl I added a bottom made from a Cylinder. This is what my GH file looks like:
I’m posting this because I was quite surprised at the number of different shapes that result from simply changing the number of points in the Divide Curve component. I’ve saved a number of these in the Solution State values inside the GH file. It certainly did not occur to me that connected circular planar arcs could produce such geometry.
