Bladeless Fan
The first week's activity was to create a prototype for a bladeless fan.
Then, using devices and software like LaswerWorks and Ultimaker Cura, prepare product designs and work on them to learn about tools like the Laser Cutter and 3D Printer. and applied the designs using the laser cutting and 3d printing machines. for the laser cutting design as a fan of Chelsea I choose their logo, for the 3d printing I was inspired by my work in genetics and choose bacteriologic.

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
We utilised Laser Works software, which requires Dfx files. There are two different power and speed settings for both cutting and scanning, and my design took around 4 minutes to complete. the material was plywood for laser cutting machine
Second, we utilised Ultimaker Cura software, which requires stl files. I uploaded my file from Thingiverse, the design requires no supports and takes around 32 minutes to print. the material was blue pla filament for 3d printing machine

Bacteriophage
3d printing
I looked through Thingeverse till I selected a design that I liked, file had to be stl after finding it I upladed the file to ultimaker cura software to set dimentions and parameter. I set .2mm print setting and 20% infilling , the design was just need a prim. temp 215. Finally, I sliced the model to estimate the time and weight involved, then converted the final design file to Gcode, renaming it “Prusa4 Bacteriophage 3g 32min PLA 0.2Q,” and downloading it to the Prusa i3 Printer via SD Card.
Laser cutting
I couldn't find any design i liked as dfx file so I selected a design and converted it to dfx then uploded the file to laser work software and adjust parameters as speed and power - cut speed 20mllm/s. - power 65%, engrave Speed: 300 mm/s ,Power: 25 select which parts would be cut and wich would be engraved with color red foe engraving and black for cutting then saved file as rld .
Development/Implementation Process

3D printing
First, I used thingeverse to download Stl design I wanted, then I uploaded my design to cura software and checked if it needs supports fortunately it didn't need any supports just need a prim . Finally I clicked slicing to estimate the time and weight involved, then converted the final design file to Gcode, renaming it “Prusa4 Bacteriophage 3g 32min PLA 0.2Q,” and downloading it to the Prusa i3 Printer via SD Card which is inserted to the machine then choose the filament color adjust temp 215, To change filament, preheat the bed and the nozzle, Remove the old filament and replace it with the new one and the last step was to choose the file and start printing
Laser cutting
uploaded the rld file to the computer of the machine and choose the start point then adjust the focus and give the permission to the machine to start It take 3 mins to be done

Title of Media
Yes, I spoke about the supports with Mohanned and the lab operator, and they informed me that my design only requires prims, I was unable to utilise the 3D printing equipment, but the lab technician assisted me in doing so. after finising the printing I asked on slack about name for my design and we choose Barry

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 was confused about the supports, so I looked them up and asked Mohanned for clarification, after that I do some research watching tutorials and asked the lab operator too who told me that my design only need supports, also I was confused about dimensions of the 3d printing design so I asked on slack and they told me how to adjust the desired dimensions in the 3 axis by using uniform scaling .
