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)

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2887710

the idea came from this design as simple as a cylinder with cuts in it's walls ( voronoi )

i loved the design because its so simple but catchy and easy to design from scratch

thanks to thingiverse for the inspiration

Tool Chain

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

The tools I used in this design were fusion 360 for 3d design

and cura for slicing it

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?

In this process first I sketched on the top plane the base of the model
used flange feature in sheet metal tab
extruded flange to 80mm
unfolded the sheet metal
generate voronoi using this add-in
set the right numbers to get desired view
after making sketch with voronoi extrude cut to the un folded sheet metal
folded sheet metal again to veiw it on its final shape
extruded 2m base
colored the model in render tab.

for more details

sketch the model in top plane

select flange feature then extrude to what you want

the sketch must be not closed loop to extrude it correctly

unfold the sheet metal to make it parallel to voronoi sketch

select (voronoi sketch generator )

set your numbers! then hit ok

align the part with the voronoi sketch

extrude cut the voronoi sketch

refold the sheet metal to its original form

extrude a thin layer to make a solid base to hold the pens inside

then color and select the material of the model and this is the final step in this frustrating process

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?

step:1 slicing

first import stl file to cura slicer
set the right scale ,infill, layer height ....etc
in this example scale :70% infill:8% supports: none layer height: 0.3mm
then export it to the sd card
select the file from printer screen then start printing

step:2 export to SD

the files exported to sd card to to be inserted later in the printer

step:3 start printing

choose the file to print then wait for the printer to heat up then it'll automatically start the printing process.

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)

the challenge was making voronoi

I decided to exclude the idea of voronoi pen holder because i didn't know how to design it, and made an easier design that's on the left

but thanks to Maram hosny she sent me a link that demonstrated the process of making voronoi model and managed to make my model easily after watching the video

by the way check her amazing work !!

Final Project

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

I'm now capable of making Voronoi that may help in the final project finishing and decorating

WOW!

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

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.
