big first day

 next project: coat hook. taking a bit of inspiration from Bryan's in-class joke about the drunk octopus meme. here's a *few* photos of my drawings paired with an interweb photo reference of a real octopus. hope to somehow combine the two using Rhino 👾

continuing to work on this file. mesh to NERBS, NERBS to mesh...  UPDATE: fixed, holy shit. found that the problem stemmed from inadequately filling up a hole in the surface with a "surface planar" command giving this "patch" zero thickness. thus Pruca Slicer read this as an error and left 3-4 entire printing levels, or slices, blank. a proper repair to the model was demonstrated using a solid placed inside the area to fill, working as a patch with printable dimensions. lesson learned 💀👍  

  i'm not able to make this guy work. very unfortunate. included some mesh images here. reduced mesh down to 500 polygons for a great effect. unable to print
