Expobar / Brewster [parametric] hot water shield

While this project delivers a practical shield for the coffee machine hot water spigot - it serves more as an example of a parametric design using Rhino / grasshopper.

The design builds around a (your) model of a machine's hot water spigot. You then provide curve profiles to shape each component of the design. These and model parameters can then be manipulated in real time to test a wide variety of design ideas. You can see it at work here; http://youtu.be/LFxLEmNJuBU

The designs you like can then be "baked" with a button click and exported for printing as STL's.

Source Rhino / Grasshopper files are included as are some example STLs
