Week 2 - 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)
Manufacturing a Mobile Holder in Addition to a Pens Holder
I like this design because it is so versatile
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
polywood 3 mm - screw and nut m3 - Fusion 360 program - CorelDraw Program - Laser Cutter Machine Epilog
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?
Front View
Side View
Bottom View
I started doing a search for phone holder + laser cutting until I found the right design
Then I drew on sketch paper and put the approximate dimensions of the design, then I started drawing on Fusion 360
After completing the drawing of the three projections, I converted the design into 2.5D
Then I started putting the sides together to make sure they fit together
Then all parts were exported in DXF format.
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?
-I opened the design in CorelDraw
- All parts collected on one page
- Adjust cutting Power = 40 , Speed = 8 , frequency = 500
Engraving Power = 35 , Speed = 23
- The file was sent to the machine
- I put the wood board inside the machine and then set the Zero axis point
- Click on the play command in Machine
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)
While assembling the parts on the Fusion program, there was an error in the dimensions of one of the sides
So I asked the Instructor for help and he showed me where it is and how to treat it
Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
It is learning to Program and Dividing any Design into Small Geometric shapes
