Week II - 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)
Mobile holder
a mobile holder and also a sound amplifier made of wood
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
fusion 360 to design
Title of Media
laser work v6
laser cutting machine
plywood 3mm
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?
1- choose the XY plane to draw the top and bottom faces
2- the top face and the bottom are the same then I draw a rectangle in the top face to be the place of inserting the mobile phone the put two tap slots and skrew hole between them then extrude these two faces 3 mm as new component
3- sketch two sides in the XZ plane for the holder each side has two taps and a T-slot between them in the upper edge and also lower edge then extrude sketch 3mm as new component
4- sketch front and back by faces in the YZ plane by the same method of drawing sides and using the same assembling method and extrude it 3mm as new components
5- draw the bridge parts which are responsible for holding the phone inside the amplifying box and consist of three parts two of them are parallel to the phone hole in the top face and the third is perpendicular to them and they are fixed using 4 skrew holes

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- 1- sketch all parts of the mobile stand
2- save each sketch as a DXF file to be opened via laser works v6
3- import each part to laser works to make only one file to be cut once on the laser cutter
4- creat an RLD file then cut it on laser cutter machine
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)
1- the plywood sheet was not flat so it affects the focus of the lens of the machine so some parts are not fully cut however I fixed the sheet with tape
2- there were some errors in my design in just millimeters which made the assembling process very hard and with some adjustments
3- I had a problem with how to make the phone stand in my design
Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
mobile holder and act as sound amplifiyer
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
I designed this part to hold the phone and fixed it inside the amplifier box
Trying sound amplifying function in me stand
