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)

This design is the base of my inspiration. I needed it to work in different ways not just standing to be adaptable.

Tool Chain

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?

I used Fusion 360 to design the frame and model the arms.

It was a 5 parts project: a base and 4 sides.

For Laser Cutting We Used Laser Work as Software, Wood sheet as material, and Laser cutter as a machine.

Parameters: Cut: Speed/ 30, Power/ 50

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?

I used Fusion 360 to design the frame.

It was a 6 parts project: a base, middle and 4 sides.

The base was the centre piece. after designing it. I projected on its for sides and designed them.

The front was 12mm wider to account for the intersection with the sides.

The back was 20cm higher to make room for hanging.

The middle inserted with T slots.

every side was a component for ease of management.

I exported the files to DXF.

In the laser work I set them up to be cut, Parameters: Cut: Speed/ 30, Power/ 50


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?

For Laser Cutter: 

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)

Fusion would link the copy of the side to the original, so moving one part would move the other. so, I saved one side as a separate project then added it to the project.

Final Project

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?

Planning the surfaces and the starting point of a project. and using rule #0, 1.

WOW!

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

We Learned about resin and how to use it. Thank you Menna. We each mad one piece of domino.
