Hi. I made this single mesh geometry using kangaroo. I succeeded in making a nice mesh, but i am having trouble in making the same version with some thickness. I’m planning to 3d-print it with some thickness, preferrably the thinnest possible… Using weaverbird Thicken would make it go wrong. I s…

Hi @jmc.060691 It looks like your mesh has lots of problematic non-manifold and self-intersecting parts. The grasshopper file you uploaded does not include the starting input mesh, but I believe the problem is starting there before the relaxation. You can check a mesh using MeshRepair then clicki…

Alternatively, you can use the ShrinkWrap command in Rhino8 to thicken it into a solid, even if the starting mesh is bad.

oh. I started with 1000x1000x1000x mesh boxes, printed points to choose anchor points manually, then pressed start. Maybe I have to deal with the naked vertices? I tried repairing it, but it stops at some point without solving the whole thing… must be just as you’ve mentioned. Something wrong with…

You surely can use Dendro to thicken this look at tje various discussions [image] Turn multiple points on a gyroid surface into a graded density volume Grasshopper You can provide a list of Radius in Dendro [image] So just select radius depending on a position You can f…

I solved it! Was definitely the issue of the non-manifold edges. Weaverbird thicken was enough to bake a closed mesh. Thanks for your kind help :slight_smile:

Is mesh thicken to this complex form impossible?
