Mesh/ net modeling for 3d printing

This is what I’m trying to achieve which I’m currently doing manually in another CAD software, is there a way to achieve this in grasshopper? It is then printed with this top surface on the base like in the second image

Is there a way to rotate the image in grasshopper?

Can you share this file with me please? I’m unable to recreate it!

@inno

oh sorry, I thought I had attached it earlier!

about rotating the image, I think it’s much easier to reverse / invert points / paths in GH, but even more it would be to check surface UVs using Transpose and/or Reverse

Just Reverse Surface shows the gumballs?

Awesome thank you! This is great @inno. For some reason when I connected the loft to surface closest point I couldn’t get it to work at all. Thank you for this! Is there a way to add a top surface like in the images I posted above? :smile:

I guess you could use Cylinder component to draw a thin Cylinder with the sizes you want

this looks more complicated, but even with very basic Rhino modeling you can for sure get it

Hi Inno,

thank you for your help with this.

Although I am struggling to print overhangs!

Currently the script is like 1-0 in the attached image, is there a way to make it like 1-1-0-0 instead? I think that will help with printability of overhangs

hi, can you tell the name of the book?
