Cura to slice the 3d model and export to G-code
Coraldraw for a little edit and export from cdr to dxf
Lasercad to make the cut and engrave speed and power
plywood sheet
2d Laser cutting machine
white PLA filament
Prusa i3 mk2 , 3d printing machine
Design/Preparation Process
Design/Preparation Process
the original design was 2 parts and .cdr , so i edit it to be 1 layer with engrave and export it as .dxf
then, import it to lasercad and adjust power & speed and make it stimulate what it will be like
Cut in 20 speed & 70 power
Engrave in 300 speed & 50 power
Wow that's big
Scaled it to 40% , resolution of 0.2mm , without adhesion and touching bulidplate support
it makes 9gm and 1 hour 15 minutes
Development/Implementation Process
Development/Implementation Process
Firstly, i copied the gcode file to the SD card and put it to the machine
then preheat the machine and clean the nozzle from any dirty old filament and clean the ped from any previous materiel
finally I load the file from the SD and leave the machine to calibrate the ped dimensions and start make it's magic 🫣
First I copied the dxf file to the laptop that connected to the machine
then make sure that the machine parameters are right (cut in 20 speed & 70 power , engrave in 300 speed & 50 power)
finally download the file to the machine, make sure of focus, the dimension of the cut area, close the door of the machine and start and watch the process 😯😯
Overcoming Challenges
Overcoming Challenges
in the original laser cut design it was cut and glue not cut and engrave , also it was cdr and lasercad didn't support this
so i download coraldraw and edit it and export as dxf and plt
plt was a little bit good than dxf , so i stick with it and went to the lap and cut it
didn't found acrylic colors so i used some paint colors , it isn't the best choice but still did the job
Final Project
Final Project
take 9g and 1 hour 8 minutes
take about 12*7 cm from the sheet
WOW!
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

The 3d printing was so much satisfying and the little supports when you break them i enjoy it 🤩😊
