The assignment idea is to design and fabricate a pen & pencil holder by using Fusion 360 and print it using the 3D Printer
The assignment idea is to design and fabricate a pen & pencil holder by using Fusion 360 and print it using the 3D Printer
I searched on google search using the keywords "pen and pencil holder + 3D Printing" for getting inspiration.
After getting inspiration I decided to make a container that looks like a castle tower in which I will put the pens.

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
*I used Autodesk Fusion 360 to sketch the design and assemble the parts*
*I used Autodesk Fusion 360 to sketch the design and assemble the parts*
used "Ultimaker Cura" software to prepare the .stl file according to the suitable scale and printing parameter to fulfill the printing time limit and to convert the file to the required format for the 3D printer.
The Prusa i3 mk3 3D Printer to print the parts.
The material will be PLA. White, Red & Black.

**hint ---> The dimension of parts exists in the file of design with format .f3d.
I will put the files of designs down the page.
First, I started to sketch on the x-y plane to draw the base of the castle tower.
Then, I extruded the base.
Second, I extruded the base again but I used a feature two-sided direction to make the upper part.
Third, I created a circular pattern to make the columns of tower.
Fourthly, I created a rectangular pattern to make a second piece of base.
Then, I moved the upper piece to round it and give me the stone shape of a tower.
but I used set pivot to roud it about the origin.
Fifth, create a rectangular pattern with a suitable height.
Then, combine the bodies into one body.
Sixthly, extruded the walls of tower.
Seventh, Sketch the door and the window on the y-z plane.
Then, I extruded cut the window and door.
Eighth, I created a text by my name in the base and extruded it cut.

And now I'm ready to visit the lab and fabricate my print.
Development/Implementation Process
Development/Implementation Process
I went to the lab and did make sure that everything is ok on Ultimaker Cura.
1- Transferred the gcode files to the machine SD card and inserted it into the Prusa mk2 3D printer.
2- Power on the machine and started the pre-heat for PLA.
3- Choose the first file (castle pen holder-0.1mm-30-Grey-PLA-86minute-21g-215degree) and started the print.
5- After the print is done, I did turned-off the machine.

I made a design with some errors But the specialist in the lab modified the design with me before printing.
This error was /
1- the thickness of the walls was very small it about 1mm and the specialist changed it to 3mm.
2-some parts of the text would fall off while printing so we used supports.
3-in the end we had a problem with time so we removed the text and some parts from the design.
Kindly I would thank the specialist "Rowa Othman" she was a helpful person and helped me a lot.
Final Project

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
I have gained some knowledge that will help me in designing the parts I will need in my final project and Getting familiar with the machines to use in to implementation.
WOW!
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
I have learned to design 3D objects on CAD software. Thanks to the Maker Diploma team.
Also the pattern feature in Fusion 360 is an amazing tool.
