Laser Cutting Process
Laser Cutting Process
I uploaded the PLT file to the laser cutter machine, after putting the plywood wood sheet and setting the origin, and make sure that there is enough wood to cut my design, I started the cutting process and wait for the machine to finish my design successfully

3D printing Process
3D printing Process
I uploaded the gCode file to the sd card and put it in the 3D printer machine and started the preheat process to change the filament, I chose the file I want to print and wait for the machine to start the process

1- this design has too many details so it was hard to remove the small parts after the cutting process
2- The lab specialist gave me tweezers with thin ends so I could get them out
3-After I got home, I used a needle so I could get the rest out
