Where Can I find the Barend Hemmes wooden laser cut waffled light bulb grasshopper factory?

Site Administrator Note: worldwide copyright for this design has been claimed by the original artist (see this response).

I want to recreate this (see below) for a project, I have the grasshopper program but I need a factory for this or any other tips where I can generate this, I have 2 days to do it. It seems fairly easy. Well, please help.

Thanks

What do you mean factory?

factory is the name of the series of permutations performed in grasshopper, it sort of looks like a series of batteries strung together.

i'm guessing with factory you mean a GH definition that gets you the waffle planes to construct those lamps?

E-x-actly.

This may help, I found a script similar to the waffling called the "Pipe Rib Maker" Not having any luck with it so what you come up with will be valuable thanks

Thanks for this, my only concern would be that the planes created would be "punched" out for the hollow visiblity seen in the lightbulb sculpture. I will play around with it a bit.

If you don't need the definition to be parametric you can model this in rhino in 15-30 minutes including notching, labeling, orienting to cut plane... (if you are comfortable with rhino)

If you do need it to be parametrically generated because you need to create various iterations of the lamp I think you could do it more simply than the fancy wires definition.

Well, I'm pretty much self taught in Rhino and I would consider my skills basic. At this point it doesn't need to be parametric, so how could I do this in 30mins with just notching, labeling, and orienting to cut plane? I don't know how I would get the notches set at the right level. Plus, I didn't draw the light bulb I imported it from SketchUp so its a surface object, should it be hollow? Plus, how would I get the thickness of the cut planes? I willing to do anything so your help is SUPER VALUABLE at this point.
