The 3d frog
The task for week one was about to get more familiar with the 3d and 2d software on the computer and the machines in the fab lab Almadi.
For me this it was the first time to use a 3d software and print something in 3d, so i think to print something i am familiar with which is the toys, so i Searched for a toy on thingiverse till I found this magician frog.
The 2D frame of plants.
Back of the laser cut
The front of the laser cut
The final result
Regarding the 2d printing on laser cut, I already worked on it before but on illustrator and was the first time for me to work on a laser work software, I tried before to cut mode only so i decided to try the scan mode, so i searched on 3 axis website for a model with cut and scan mode till i found The 2D frame of plants.

I faced one challenge with the 3d printing after finishing the printed one:
as i watched the 7 videos of the tutorials to use cura, I tried to find the suitable mode for the support mode that will fit my model but i couldn't find the best one, and i choose the support mode with is (everywhere), i couldn't imagine that the support is hard to handle in that way and hard to remove it, till i tried by myself, and finally i learned that this shape could be printed without choosing (everywhere support mode).

I faced 2 challenges with 2d mode printing with the software (before printing):
1_ I was confusing to know the the time it will consume to print in the software, i thought this were 11 minutes but it were 11 seconds till i asked on slack and i found it was to small to print.
The second was about the cdr file, this type of file doesnot open on the laser work software till youmna send this comment ( we can convert the cdr file to a dxf file through the link that she attached so it could open in the software) thank you youmna
