4-based on the polygon of 8 shapes (image below #1) I imagined what if I stacked a 3 polygon with a vertical space between everyone about 2.5 CM and use the loft feature

5-The final result will be a gorgeous solid shape that I imagined before

2-Then I used the fusion 360 solid feature
2-Then I used the fusion 360 solid feature
- At first, extrude the first polygon 2 MM to make a model base
3-Use loft feature to make a solid body
3-Use loft feature to make a solid body
Using the loft feature to connect different polygons to create s solid shape
4- Use shell feature
4- Use shell feature
I used the shell feature to make it hollow
and wall thickness is 2mm
5- Add an appearance
5- Add an appearance
I used the appearance to give it a life
6- Export STL file

After editing our model no we can export it as STL file for the next stage
7- Cura software

After finishing our model on fusion 360
now we can slice it using Cura software
8-Adjust parameter
8-Adjust parameter
Cura has a simple user interface, we need to adjust some parameters
to achieve the best result
1-profiles: 0.3 MM
2- infill: 20 %
support: N
Adhesion: N
Orientation: as sketched

After setting parameters for our file the final result
weight:25 G
Time: 68 M

After all these steps finally, we can be heading to our 3D printer, turn it on, put our sd card in the machine

open our file, press enter, wait for our machine until finishing preheating and start printing, keep watching our machine about 4:5 layer vertical then we can move and come back every will to check it out tell finishing

1- Total weight of my model Exceeding the quota limit
1- Total weight of my model Exceeding the quota limit
- So I decided to edit the shell feature and reduce the wall thickness which can reduce the total weigh of the final model
2-how to create a random shape implemented in my 3d designed body like shapes on a crocodile body.

- After some search on Slack #eureka-media, I find a video link mentioned by Maram Hosni to Yasen this video was Conclusion (Video)
