Week I - 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)
3D model for Mazinger Z :)
one of my childhood friends and this is the main inspiring thing to print Mazinger Z
Title of Media
in this model, the main inspiration is that I love diving and love marine life so I've chosen to print this design which represents a turtle and there is a diver printed on its back shell
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
PRUSA MK3
PLA ( black)
laser cutting machine
plywood 3mm
I used for slicing Ultimaker Cura and for laser cutting laser works v6
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?
Title of Media
I used Ultimaker Cura 5.0.0 to slice this design
1- I used a suitable scale for design
2- used these settings
infill 10%
layer height 0.2
printing temperature 215
used support placement touching build plate an
build plate adhesion ( Brim )
3- time of printing is 1 Hr. and 27 Min. , and it consumes 11gm of PLA
after printing Mazinger
supports are successfully removed
Final Product
Title of Media
I used (laser works V6)
1- I used a suitable scale for design 17 x 9
2- used these settings
black line ( cut - power 70 - speed 30 )
blue line ( scan - power 20 - speed 300 )
red line ( scan - power 40 - speed 300 )
3- time consumed is 7minutes and the material used is plywood 6mm
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?
fabrication procedures
1- unload the already loaded filament then load a black PLA filament then wait till the loading process is finished
2- start printing the gcode file and wait till the heating process for the nozzle to 215 degree and the building plate to 65 degree
3- waiting for the printing process to complete
4- remove the object from building plate carefully then remove supports from the object
5- coloring the resulted object using acrylic colors
1- prepare rld file then download it to the laser cutting machine
2- put the wood sheet inside the machine
3- check the focus of the lense
4- choose the origin
5- check the working frame for the design
6- run the machine then wait till the cutting and scanning process to end '
7- check if the wood has been cut properly or not before moving the sheet
8- apply sandpaper to the surface of the resulting cut to remove burning signs

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 finishing about 30% of the printing process one of the supports released from the building plate so I changed the Adhesion of the build plate from skirt to Brim

WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
that I made this funny video of the fabrication process
