Week 3 - 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)

This week's assignment was to design a pen/pencil holder using Fusion 360 and 3D print it.

ODC where we learn how to make those amazing things, Is near the Egyptian museum. after fabricating last week's assignment I went there as I'm a big fan of the great ancient Egyptian civilization.

I saw very interesting vases and pots which they use in their daily life. this is how I got my inspiration.

Tool Chain

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?

The software used for the assignment is Fusion 360 Ultimaker Cura

The machine used for this assignment is PRUSA i3 MK2 (3D printer).

The materials used for this assignment is PLA plastic (white).

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?

First thing first, I decided how I want the holder to look like.

I started a circle sketch the xy plane.

Then I created an offset plane and drew a polygon.

I repeated the previous process but I changed the polygon orientation.

I drew a final offset plane and then drew a circle on it.

I created a loft from the bottom to the top.

Then, I used the shell feature.

Then I did some fillet to the edges.

I added some color and material.

I then exported the body as STL.

I opened it in Ultimaker cura.

I adjusted the parameters to meet the requirements.

I then saved it to be printed

printing parameters:

Infill: 10

layer height: 0.3

Time: hour and 24 min

weight: 20 grams

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?

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)

I had a problem with trying to adjust the model to meet the requirements and I asked my instructor Mohanad and my friend Yassen. and I did what they recommended to remove supports and adjust the layer height

Final Project

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?

I have a 70 percent understanding of Fusion 360 tools, and I guess this's very helpful to me to design my 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?

This week I had to make the session activity with Eslam, The great thing is that we went to the same college but we didn't interact during those five years. But thanks to the maker diploma activity I have a new friend. And this's something that I'll never forget.

Bs: we made the tallest tower

Khalifa's tower :D

Weekly Digest [OPTIONAL]

Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: in the Hands-on activity, tutorial examples, exercises, or any other cool mini-project that you tried out aside from the assignment.

I worked with Aya Abdeen on designing a Lego character.

It was a great experience working with Aya, she is a great partner. Pair modeling is so cool actually. It exposed me to different perspectives and points of view. It also expanded my design knowledge.
