Laser cutter for cup coaster
Steps to be ready for cutting :
Download dxf file from here.
Import the file from the laser cutter program.
set Power value to 70 watts and 20 for speed.
Remove any useless lines.
Resize the model to be used as a cup coaster.
save model as rld file.
3D Modeling for BAYMAX
Steps to be ready for printing :
Download stl file from here.
Check if it needs supports or not, the model doesn't need supports.
check if it needs adhesion or not, the model doesn't need adhesion as it is already stable.
resize it to be fit for printing and takes less than 90 minutes.
set 0.2 layer Height and 0,20 infill.
slice the model and save as gcode file.
3D model needs 1 hour, 10 minutes and 13 grams for printing.

Laser Cutter
Steps to cut the model :
Connect the machine with the laptop.
Download the file from laser cad software.
Name the file then push the start button.
wait for the machine until finished.
open the machine then you done it.
3D Printing
Steps to print the model :
Copy file to sd card.
set the printer on.
preheat to be fit for PLA material.
start printing and wait until finish.

At first, I had a problem finding the right supports for the baymax model, but when I asked for advice from my instructor, he guided me that the model doesn't need supports and said that most of small models don't need a lot of support even the curves of their bodies.

I made this mobile holder in hands-on activity using cartoons only.
The wonderful thing is that it is really fixed and can withstand heavy objects.
