This week's assignment was designing a pen holder on Fusion 360 and then slicing the design on Ultimaker Cura to fabricate it using the 3D printer.
I got inspired by the Pokemon ball, so I used a multicolor filament in my design to resemble a Pokemon pen holder.

Design Phase On Fusion 360
Design Phase On Fusion 360
First, I started with the x-z plane to draw this 2d sketch.
Then I selected the closed profile and the axis I want to revolve around.
I chose to revolve 360 degrees to make this cylindrical shape.
5. IÂ started drawing a new 2D sketch on the top plane of my design.
6. With the mirror feature, I duplicated the sketch and offset it to give me a 3mm thickness.
7. I extruded the 4-quarter circles to cut 97mm from the body.

This design exceeded the required time and weight limit on the slicing process. So I edited it and removed some of its material to match the design requirements.
8. IÂ removed the previous sketch.
6. Instead of extruding cut (sub-feature) I used Shell (sub-feature).
7. I shelled all the material inside to leave a cylindrical shape with 2mm thickness as shown in the following pictures.

After editing to match the requirements, I changed the appearance of my design to have the same colors as the pokemon ball.
I saved my design as a mesh to download the STL file and prepare it on Cura.

First, I reduced the scale non-uniformly to 60% on the X&Y axes and 70% on the Z axis.
Then, I started the slicing process and got that my design will take 1hr and 24 min
From: Extensions > Post Processing > Modify G-Code.
I found the Layer for the Change in the Preview.
I added the Filament Change Script.
PS: Don't add the (pause at height) script because it was already paused from the previous script.Adjust the Script Settings.
Slice the Object Again.

In this phase I started printing.
Then, I changed filament and continued printing.
It took 1hr and 31 min according to filament change process.

This design exceeded the required time and weight limit on the slicing process. So I edited it and removed the material.
I used Shell (sub-feature) to make it a simple cylindrical shape with 2mm thickness as I mentioned in the design phase.
