ProE Puzzle 001



I thought it would be nice to learn if its put in the form of Puzzles. This is nothing but a modelling requirement. How would you do it?

Puzzle No: ProE_Puzzle_001
Puzzle type: Basic.

Here is the Qn. See the diagram. We have 2 sets of points. each set has 4 points. they are A1 to A4 and B1 to B4.



The puzzle is to create a curve through the mid points of the lines A1-B1, A2-B2, A3-B3 and A4-B4.

The Modelling method should be such such that the values of x, y and the no of points in each set can be parametrically controlled.

How would you solve it? Leave your answer as comment.

I will post my answer in three weeks time.

Today's post is about one of the 3D Printing adaptation that I learned. This is specifically about how to control an LED light automatically through OctoLapse so that it is switched on only when the timelapse photo is taken. Just as a background, I have been learning to use 3D printer and its customizations options for a few months now and was a lot of learning since then. The best thing was OctoPi, a platform for controlling the 3D printer and the many plugin options that are developed by the community.  Most of them are like open source. Today we will discuss specifically about an adaptation to one such plugin, OctoLapse. OctoLapse is the plugin for taking timelapse photos, with many options for further customisations. One of the best timelapse method is taking photo after each layer is complete, by moving the head out of the way. You can use standard Pi Camera or a DSLR, which is great to get good resolution videos. One small flash back before we dive into the topic.  I keep the
