golden flying ball
About the laser cutting project :
I chose a saus vectors " which is a group of very cute cartoon characters " , sincerely , i made them because i loved them so said to myself let's try.
About the 3D printing project :
I chose the golden ball ( kwadish) from harry potter movie series , as I am a big fan of it .
I want to mention that I got these designs from 3axis website and you can find file attachment below.
laser cutting program and machines.
3D printing software ( cura ) and 3D printing machine.
some metal tools for support isolation process .
some paint .
my phone for taking pictures .
usb card reader.
For laser project :
I downloaded the dxf file and then import it to laser cutting program , then I chose what layer will be cut and which one will be scaned , after that I import my file to the machine computer and finally the process started .
For 3D project :
I downloaded the file and then got it in cura program , then I started changing the setting and project parameter to meet lab criteria ( mix 90 min / 9 gram of material ) , after that I went through the slicing process , and finally upload my project in card and the printing process started.

For laser cutting process:
first : I opened the machine using opening button .
second : I put my wooden board in it and let the laser part made sure that the cutting area will be suitable.
third : I gave the machine the starting order and closed it's door.
finally, the machine finished and I get my design .
For 3D printing project :
I uploaded the design in reader card and then put it in machine.
second : I modified the machine setting.
third : the machine made sure from area parameters.

Actually, in this part I want to introduce a special thanks to my peer "Mahmoud EL gasser " he helped me to solve my laptop problems and when the problem became bigger he helped me to achieved my assignment , so thanks Mahmoud very much.
And also thanks to Menna and Mohanned for letting me use their laptops.
sincerely, I think that videos made everything easier , but I can say try to get just more information about the two process and get more time to choose more wonderful project.
but also l had a different challange when i tried to download cura programm because my laptop had windows 7 (32 bit ) and cura needs at least windows 7 (64 bit ) so if you want to use it , make sure at first that your laptop capabilities are suitable.

saus park vectors
this is idea of my final project .
I think the laser cutting skills will be the most useful part in this one because , I will need to skitch my design and made the wooden frame .
Also I think ,if I can add some additional features so surly , I will need 3D printing skills in it .

I think the coolest thing about this week is the golden flying ball , really I loved it .
the one thing I can't forget, unfortunately, will be my laptop problem.
we were in ( Eid AL Adha ) so, I had some time to drawing mandala and painting it.
