Week 3 - 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)

my inspiring cup

pencil holder inspired from the glass cup.

Tool Chain

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

software

cura for preparing and edit design before printing (slicing)

I used Autodesk Fusion 360 for sketching the designs

materials

PLA filament

machines

This is PRUSA i3 MK2 3D Printer. for printing the design

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?

select sketch on XY plane and draw a polygon
Select offset plane on the same axis height nearly 20mm and select new sketch on it the draw a polygon. Note rotated the polygon to give the shape.
Repeat this step twice.
lofting for all planes.
filet for all edges.
add some color.

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?

ASMAA SAIED mention that we can choose parameter called Special modes, Spiralize outer contour in Cura

this feature perfect but the design will be printed with a very thin wall.

edit some parameters like

quality .015

infill 20

then save as gcode ant transfer into printer.

printing process .

note the thickness of the wall.

Overcoming Challenges

What kinds of challenges or problems did you face while doing the assignment, tutorials, or exercises? How did you solve them? Did you ask for help from an instructor or peer? Please provide a link to the tutorial or article that you used to solve your problem (if any)

At design stage on fusion I can't make rotate for upper side to twist the shape. I think because the shape fully constrain so I made another design and edited the polygons make them different in size also doesn't twist. So I made my third design with anther way without twisted or rotated

Here the upper and lower polygons are different in size

In the printing process I did not find the beautiful PLA color for me, I searched until I found this beautiful blue color.

this is not the end of the story because the blue color was moisturizing and easily broken

Here's the first design, the upper and lower polygons are identical

Final Project

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

Each project on fusion makes me more familiar with it and this certainly helps me design the final project
