design files and fabricate models of your choice using 3D Printing and Laser Cutting, I was caring for this idea because I want try it by myself my first time, my inspiration was batman for the designs .

1-What was required in this job was to search for a ready-made design on a website, and transfer it to special programs, such as the printer or cutter, and then go to the lab and do the printing and cutting.
Slicing the STL file to prepare it for printing included several steps. First is to import the file in Ultimaker Cura, then to check the parameters and see if they need adjusting..
2-After that I run the design on the programs for printing and cutting
1) To know the dimensions of the design and to modify the parts that must be modified
2) To know the time that the process will take and the amount of materials
7 minutes
1 gram
62 layers
Before beginning fabrication, you must first prepare the DXF file for the laser cutter. I uploaded the dxf file I downloaded into rdcam and resized it to the desired size. Then I altered the colour of the portions I wanted to engrave and the colour of the parts I wanted to cut. I saved the file in.rld format, but I didn't modify the speed or power since I needed to consult the fablab specialist about the laser cutter's characteristics.

WhatsApp Video 2022-01-31 at 2.16.49 PM.mp4I began with the 3D printer because it would take the longest to complete. I loaded the.gcode file onto the SD card and began printing.
WhatsApp Video 2022-01-31 at 2.18.56 PM.mp4I saved the dfx file on my usb. After that, I inserted the sheet of wood into the laser cutting bed, adjusted the origin and focus, followed the rest of the instructions, and began cutting.
Overcoming Challenges
Overcoming Challenges
When you got stuck, what/who did you turn to? At what point did you have to pause to research or learn more before moving on? What are some mistakes, pitfalls, or challenges that others can avoid if they were doing this assignment?

There was a major challenge this week because I was dealing with these devices and software for the first time in my life, and there was a difficulty in the beginning, but from the help of colleagues and help them dry, I solved these problems and the first printing process succeeded and cutting the two together, thank God

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
Today's project has a major relationship to the final project because it taught me a lot of skills that I will use when I work on the final project, Such as dealing with the programs of the machines and knowing the formulas in which they work and how to operate the machines
WOW!
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
The thing I was most surprised by this week is the details that these machines can extract without effort and can repeat this process more than once and at a very high speed
