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?
Laser Cut
1- downloaded the design i liked the most from 3axis website as DXF https://3axis.co/download/qommqgpo/
2- Import DXF design.
3- set the power, speed of laser used (cut means low speed, high power), (scan means high speed, low power). 77.6 mm, 42.6 mm
4- prepare the laser cutter to use.
3D Printing
1- downloaded the design I liked the most from mini SpongeBob as stl https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4788035
2- open stl design on Ultimate Cura, the design on the program (Resolution, infill, support, adhesion)..
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?
Firstly laser cut, I downloaded the design i liked the most from 3axis website as DXF https://3axis.co/download/qommqgpo/
then I set it in our intermediate program laser workv6
1- Import DXF design.
2- define the lines (cut or scan).
3- set the power, speed of laser used (cut means low speed, high power), (scan means high speed, low power).
4- prepare the laser cutter to use.
5- fix the plywood sheet on laser cutter by Sticky tape.
6- processing (cut, scan).
7- paint the product.
secondly 3D printing, I downloaded the design I liked the most from mini SpongeBob as stl https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4788035
I used Ultimate Cura as the main program to prepare the file to be printed in a 3D Printer.
1- open stl design on Ultimate Cura.
2- set the design on the program (Resolution, infill, support, adhesion).
3- luckily my SpongeBob didn't need a support or adhesion because it tiny and no Hight.
4- then slice to know how much time it consume and how many gram I'll use.
5- fix the color i want to use on 3 D printer.
6-download the file, processing.

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)
my first design was so complicated that has many over lines, but the lab specialist helps me in it by deleting overlap.
Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
I learned how to set the laser cutter and 3D Printer, it seems cool and quite easy.
it gonna help me in how to set the machine to use it safely and correctly.
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
First cool 3D printing model
First cool laser cut model
Weekly Digest [OPTIONAL]
Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: in the Hands-on activity, tutorial examples, exercises, or any other cool mini-project that you tried out aside from the assignment.
actually I did a nice phone holder but unfortunately it didn't meet the requirements of the assignment.
