Please find attached the script. If I change the number slider of the offset then the pieces become very thin and difficult to provide a solution to fabricate together.

I'm also trying to figure out how to attach the pieces together. I've drawn a sketch of one way how the pieces could fit. Please let me know if you have any other suggestion. If this is the way I do go about joining each stacked piece on top of each other, how is this possible to script? Is there any term you can recommend me to search?

When I bake the extrusion I got all of the pieces - maybe try loading into a different machine?

You could use a shim in between each piece or something along these lines:

I get one which doesn't bake, no matter which computer I go on.

I think the shim works with this system and similar to my sketch. I don't think we have done anything similar in class where now I need to add/subtract volume. Can I do this in grasshopper through boolean or do I need to do it in rhino?

Looks good - I was telling Dingwen that people who are 3D printing will not have pieces due this upcoming week (I want you all to save $$$). Instead, work on your script and print out another screenshot of it near completion (Assignment#4). Start thinking about scale as well - do you want to print the whole thing at a small scale - or do you want to 3d print one full sized block and just lasercut a scale model?

I think I want to print the whole facade as a small scale, but not that tiny one. And if possible, I will still make a full sized block but maybe this one will be lasercut, I have not decided yet.

I’m trying to design a script for a brick mold that stacks to create a living wall. I'm having a bit of trouble trying to figure out how to create an octagonal grids to loft onto a surface created from a line. My process falls somewhat in-line with that of the serpentine pavilion

We talked yesterday - are you looking to lasercut a mold? If so, you should focus this next week on fabricating one mold (do not need to cast yet). Once you figure out how to do this, you can start testing the casting and what will be needed for that (crisco, tape, casting agent). I would think using an unroll component could help you lasercut the mold.
