In the top-left, the highlighted magenta portion shows the interface between the #braids assembly and the #IonicScroll from https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/795276076797088402.
Extract the #profileCurve shown as ABC in the top-right where the interface meets the scroll.
In https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/794199123072358090, we rebuilt curves from 2nd-degree arcs to 3rd-degree NURBS for smoothness and swept the scroll surface one set of arcs at a time.
Now we have to flow braids on a single surface in one operation. So we need to combine the separate segments into a single NURBS curve. To do that, #explode the profile curve into individual segments, discard the straight portion, and join the curved portions.
Curves and surfaces have a #direction that you can change in the #CAD tool. Check that the direction of the joined curve is A to C, not C to A, and flip it if necessary. Then divide the curve at 120 units starting at A. This is marked by point B. Split the curve AC at B so that AB is 120 units long.
At this point AB is still made up of 5 segments, and exploding it would again decompose the curve into separate segments. So #rebuild AB as a single NURBS curve with 32 sections.
#Extrude AB to get a 48 units wide surface shown in magenta in the top-right. Point D is at the midpoint of AE and lies on the XZ plane.
Slice the channel assembly so that it is 8 units tall, 6 of which will be above the #tectonicSurface for the braid and 2 below. The tectonic surface is shown in the bottom-left as the flat magenta surface on the channel and the curved magenta surface for the scroll neck.
Flow the entire braid and channel assembly along the curved surface lining up points A, D, and E. For the vertical part on the side of the capital, just use the 33 unit tall block from https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/799340150182400358 and bury 1 unit inside the #ovolo.
This concludes 3-strand braids. Only the non-essential #column #flutes remain.

#Braids #3StrandBraids #MulticoloredBraids
To preserve the ability to print different strands in different colors when #3DPrinting, we must keep them separate. When #CNCMilling a block of wood or other material, we don't need to keep the strands separate.
To accommodate both kinds of output, I suggest that you keep the strands separate until the very end, and perform a #booleanUnion at the last possible stage after making a copy of the separate strands.
The topmost part of the diagram shows what the strands look like after a boolean union. Much of the internal structure is absorbed in the channel block, and overlapping parts of individual strands are eliminated.
The magenta curve from https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/798252244743520392 is also shown here. Note that the location of the red cutting planes has changed slightly — Instead of 40 units from the origin, the first cutting plane is located at 39 because I ran into another limit that we must avoid.
Also, we need two blocks 120 units and 32 units long (not 24 units as was erroneously mentioned earlier). Turns out that cutting the strands at 32 units from the first cut puts us at 71 units from origin, and we run into another limit that destroys the #airtight properties of the cut solids. To get around that, we place the second cutting plane at 72 from origin to get a block 33 units long. The last cutting plane is at 159 units from origin, and when used with the first cutting plane it gives us a block 120 units long.
The lower portion of the diagram shows individual strands cut using the cutting planes as described above.
Depending on precision, you might or might not see a #nonmanifoldEdge on the second strand when cutting a length of 33 units. With precision set to 1/10 micron, which is ~100 times finer than current high-end #3DPrinters, I got a non-manifold edge.
Sometimes the fix is easy — Just #explode the solid, and rejoin the tiny surface fragments. Experiment with different precision settings.

Trump signs executive order to ditch paper #straws for plastic
“These things don’t work,” he complained of the paper alternatives. “I’ve had them many times, and on occasion, they break, they #explode.”
The #Trump administration is pushing for the return of plastic straws, falsely claiming that they contain "no measurable #PFAS" although studies have proven the opposite.

Of course phones randomly go on fire and burn people's legs all the time, but attackers being able to remotely trigger the behaviour could bring on various forms of peril even if it somehow remained limited to state-actors.
Which it wont.
Won't be long till hackers and jealous ex boyfriends can figure it out too.
