Warp / Weft

One of the projects I was looking to make some head way on during my artist in residency at Maker Media Labs is/was “Weft / Warp.” Last summer I produced a body of work called “Plotting Curves” the majority of which will be exhibited next week at The Compound Gallery in Oakland, CA. These 3D printed pieces are “hand colored” – I shaded in the filament prior to it hitting the hot end with a variety of dye and pigment based marker pens.

I am still impressed that the STL file for the Futaba motor and the Sharpie marker that I pulled off Thingiverse both fit perfectly when I assembled the device this morning. Thank you to txoof and beardicus for sharing the files. I *did* have to modify the 3d printed part with a soldering iron to move some plastic around on the filament guide and make a hole wider for the motor wire ends.
With “Warp/Weft” i should be able to dial in how much of X and Y is needed to produce A and B. From there i should be able to establish a framework to start thinkin
