Week # - 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)

I wanted to make some thing simple like this.

This week is about designing specially, 3D one.

where we used Fusion 360 to design Some3D things Like vases, pen holders, etc.. to gain The required skills and information bout Fusion Tools and features Like (LoFt - SWEEP-extrude -Revolve ) and the other things, So I designed my First project upon these Features and used loft and revolve to design a pens holder which I Can used to keep my pens and pencils together on my desk.

Tool Chain

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

in this project :

I used Fusion 360 as a Software Tool.

and I used pursa 3D printing machine to print my design.
I used a blue blastic wire as a design material

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?

revolving step

changing the appearance features to blue color

my preperation process was simple and consists of two or three small steps,

The First are was about The design:

(where I devided the design into Two Parts)

The First part(base): I made its by using Loft
The Second part (main body); I made it by using Revolve Feature.
and then I created Joints to hold them together.

The second step:

( it was about export my design as ( stl) File and Then slicing it on Cura.)

The Third step:

( it was about The printing process itself where I watched my Prototype while pursa printed it.)

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?

This is a simple and small process:

in which I export my design as STL File to cura and then slicing it to know The number of grams at which would be takes (12 gram) and The time of printing ( 74 min )
after That I exported it to machine. and then started to modify The machines Features to meet my project requirments.
Then The printing started and I Followed The First layers of design Carefully to make sure That every thing is going well.

Community of Learning

Did you ask for feedback? What are the ideas that others have contributed or suggested? What was someone else’s idea that you built upon? How did you help your peers? How did your peers help you?

nourhan helped me here , because I have a problem with how to make the cube perpendicular on the ball surface but , she showed me that we can make this simply by using the feature of symmetrical in extrude tool.

Actually, in my opinion I will give myself in This week about 6 From 10 as I saw all videos and also did all exercises even those difficult ones. but also I had some problems because I have a troubleshooting with ( how should I read The dimensions views.)

but Sincerely I asked many of my teammates and They helped me a lot to understand how to deal with The dimensions views in a good way.

that is one of the dimension view of torso part ( the bottom view) and here I didn't know what should i do with these triangle shapes and how can I draw them , but norhan showed me that we can draw them by using extrude tool to internal side .

Overcoming Challenges

When you got stuck, what/who did you turn to? At what point did you have to pause to research or learn more before moving on? What are some mistakes, pitfalls, or challenges that others can avoid if they were doing this assignment?

I mentioned before I had a problem with dimensions but because of The presence of my teammates Specially nourhan in this week I could overcome These challenges.

but unfortunately, it wasn't the only problem ,I had another problem with The time of printing because I have training so I couldn't attend The Printing time but my Friend Amira helped me by taking my design

and printed it For me ,So thank you Amira and Nourhan , you are my super women for this week

Amira helped me in printing process

Final Project

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

my final pen holder

This is my Final design, it looks Like a vase (Small ordinary one) but I always Love Simple Shapes and designs So I loved it.

WOW!

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

I Think in This part I will talk about Face to Face Session (Lab one) as I considered it as a warm time we Spend together in making a good Friendship with each other and also taking a good notes and information From our teammates and instructor.

and in This Session we worked on The Lego Parts and I had a problem with The Leg part So worked with hourhan to know how to figure it out in a simple way.
