Week 2 - Journal

i wanted to make adjustable phone holder , and i can use it for my ipad as well

i searched a lot in google and i found some easy holder and other advanced so i decided to make an advanced one inspired from some holders that i found and i wanted challenge myself in using fusion 360

i used fusion 360 to design my holder pieces then i made joints

and assemble the pieces then will export the sketches as dxf files

then import it in laserworks software to adjust the laser cutting settings

then i 'll use the laser machine to cut the material which is 3mm plywood

my design has 4 parts

1- base 2-hinges 3- phone holder 4- front & back supports

it contain 3 types to joints

i started by drawing sketches of each part , then i extrude each one to 3 mm to a new component then i made the joints

after that i exported the sketches to dxf files

and imported it into laserwork to adjust the laser cutting settings

after cutting 1st time i found a problem in the wood sheet , it like the layers separated from each other . so i tried again in different area and it worked good , " i reached my solution by fablab specialist help "
