Horse Head
Horse and plane key chain
I searched a lot of designs on many websites, I was looking for something simple as this week is just an application for the 3D printing and laser cutting to get used to programs and machines.
I used laser work for the laser cutting and slicer for 3D printing
These programs are simple and easy to use, in addition they are small programs and run easily on any pc.

The Horse head:
Profiles 0.2 & infill 20% & width 50mm
no supports needed
plane:
There was 2 layers; black for cutting and red for scanning
the first plane I did a double layer on the outside one cause I needed both.
I used laser work to convert the plane file to .rld extension, then on the pc of the lab I pressed download and renamed the file with another name, then I inserted the poly wood to the machine and chose the origin point then I chose the file with the new name, then the machine started working.
In 3d printing I used Cura to insert the horse keychain design, It was too simple I didn't need any supports.
I adjusted the size to match the 30g and 1hr 30mins.
Then I saved the file to .gcode extension, in the lab I copied the file to a memory card that is inserted in the 3d printing machine, I chose the file name and temperature then the machine started working.

The hole in key chain was only 1.5 mm diameter which was too small, also it was at the edge so it's very fragile and could be broken easily.
I wanted to make 2 planes with different designs, the first one is scanned from the outside and the other one from the inside.
I asked help from the instructor to help me do the outside design, so we did 2 layers of cutting, one for scanning and the other for cutting.

It's going to help a lot in dealing with machines, also I asked about the materials we could use for 3D printing and the advantages and disadvantages of every one, so that we could make a more efficient project.
Seeing a final product I worked on being printed for the first time.
