Week 3 - Journal
Ideation
Tell us about your assignment's idea for this week. Why do you care about this idea? What inspired you? (Please include images or links to sources of inspiration)
Design a model of a pen and pencil holder
I was interested in this idea because it is simple and can be implemented using the tools I learned this week
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Fusion 360 program
ultimaker cura program
ultimaker cura extended ++ machine
PLA Filament
Design/Preparation Process
Explain the design and/or preparation process of your assignment. How did you use the tool or software to design and/or prepare your assignment before fabrication/implementation?
Model 1
1- I Started Designing Sketch 1 in Top Plane
I Drew a Circle with a Diameter of 80 mm, then I Drew a Polygan with 6 Sides and a Side Length of 16 mm
Then I Repeated the Polygan with Circular Pattern
2- Create an Offset Plane 15mm away from the Top Plane
3- I Designed Sketch 2 with the same Dimensions as Sketch 1
4- I used the Loft Command to make an Extrude between the two Surfaces of Polygan at the Bottom and Top with a change of Angle between them by 45 Degrees
5- I used the Shell Command to make a vacuum in the body with a Thickness of 1 mm
6- Repeat the Body using Circular pattern
7- I made an Extrude for the big circle in Sketch 1 with a value of 2 mm and I chose to be the join process
8- Save the file in STL format
Model 2
1- I started designing Sketch 1 in Top Plane
I draw a circle with a diameter of 50 mm, then I draw a circule with a diameter of 15 mm
Then I repeated the circular pattern with 7 circles
2- Create an Offset Plane 30mm away from the Top Plane
3- I designed Sketch 2 with the same dimensions as Sketch 1
4- I used the Loft command to make an extrude between the two surfaces of the circules at the bottom and top, changing the angle between them
5- I used the Shell command to make a vacuum in the cylindrical body with a thickness of 1 mm
6- Repeat the body using circular pattern
7- Sketch 3 was designed to make a pencil holder
Draw a circle from an orgin point with a diameter of 50mm and another circle with a diameter of 20mm
8- I made an Extrude of the surface connecting the two circles in sketch 3 with a value of 2 mm and I chose to be the join operation
8- Save the file in STL format
Development/Implementation Process
Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?
1- I opened the design in Quora
2- I started adjusting the settings
mm3= Layer Height quality
Infill = 10%
3- I chose the slices command and then I saved the Gcode file
4- I transferred the file to the device using the memory card, then I pressed the print command
Overcoming Challenges
What kinds of challenges or problems did you face while doing the assignment, tutorials, or exercises? How did you solve them? Did you ask for help from an instructor or peer? Please provide a link to the tutorial or article that you used to solve your problem (if any)
After printing the Model 1
The problem arose that the diameter of the holes is too wide
This causes the pens to fall off and the height of the pen holder is short
So I designed 2. Model
to solve the previous problem
Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
Before starting to design anything, I must measure the dimensions of the tools that will be used later
So that there is no waste of time or materials
