Week2# - 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 and fabricate our very own mobile phone holder. The design should be done on Fusion 360 and the fabrication using the Laser Cutter.
I don't have a Maker background especially in 2.5D and T slot , so i took my reference from the Kit that we had done in first session , i take the back and base to create my mobile holder
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
software : autodesk fusion 3060
and Laser work
machine : laser cutter
materials : plywood
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?
Title of Media
Starting with sketching on Fusion and going through several trials and errors until I got the measurements correct. The assembly feature in Fusion helped me a lot with visualising the final outcome and adjusting the correct measurements for each part. After everything fit together properly and the proportions were okay, I exported each sketch as a DXF file to import it in Rdworks.
I drew the mobile holder in two parts base and back and put the T slot
Extrude the back outside for 3mm
Extrude the base outside 3mm
joint them together
ready to put in laser work
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?
After arriving at the ACC fablab, I started opening my files and double-checking that everything is good to go. I started the Laser Cutter and put my file on the flash drive. I then put the flash drive in the Laser Cutter, adjusted the origin and the focus, checked my work time, and started cutting.

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)
For someone who sketches a 3d object and even use drawing apps for the first time it was very hard for me to remember all the tools and remember what tool I should use to do the thing I want.
I used google search, YouTube and videos from week 3 sessions since I believe in try and error approach to learn.
I managed to finish the sketch after some trial and after deleting and a lot of CTRL Z
finally this is

Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
Help me understand 2.5D technology - And the use of the machine and its capabilities
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
