Pen & Pencil Holder
The assignment for this week is to design and 3d Print a pen & pencil holder using Fusion360
My goal is to create a simple yet abstract shape with keeping both functionality and design both wins.

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
For this Task I used Several Softwares to reach the Final Results:
Starting with Fusion360 to Sketch my Very first lines in design and getting the 3d Shape out of it.
Then Ultimaker Cura to Slice and Prepare the Gcode Files.
Finally The Prusa i3 mk3 printer to 3d Print my Pen&Pencil Holder.

I Started with opening fusion360
Then I created sketch & Choosed the X-Y Plan (Front)
I created a rectangle with the desired dimensions
Then I clicked Finish Sketch and From the create menu I extruded the shape to make it 3D
Next created an offset plan from Construct menu on the Top plan of Shape
Again I started new sketch but this time I choosed the Offset plan and Created a half Circle.
Then Using Revolve Feature I transformed the half circle into a Sphere and made the Operation Join instead of Cut.
Finally I draw 3 circles on Front side of my sketch and Extruded them with (-ve) Value to create holes on my shape and the Hole feature to create another hole on the Sphere.
After Finishing my Design, I used the Appearance tool to Give Wood look for the Design
Now after having my design ready all I have to do is to save all bodies as .stl File so I can handle it easily on Ultimaker Cura Software to prepare my design for Printing
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?

I opened it using Ultimaker Cura Software to setup my Printing settings and to slice my design to fit the 3d printer.
Scaled the design as its weight was exceeding my 30g limit.
Then I selected the parameters that fits the design from the Print settings.
Finally I exported my file as .gcode extension and uploaded it on Printer SD Card
As I wanted to have my pen holder on Blue color, I had to unload the white filament first. Then I reloaded the new Blue PLA filament.
Finally I selected my file from the menu and Started Printing

Our Instructor Mego, suggested to use the render tool to check the real look and feel of the design before printing it. I really found it an interesting tool to be able to see the real look of the design using only Fusion360!

I was confused about the dimensions of holes that can fit the pens and pencils. So I used the digital Caliper available on the lab to measure the radius of the pen and I found out its mostly 12mm.

Levitate with me
Now after learning the basic tools and features on Fusion360. I can now Implement my learning skills on designing and excuting all 3d parts needed for my project.
WOW!
WOW!

For sure learning how to design a 3d Sketch using Fusion360 is the coolest thing I have learned this week & it was totally out of my comfort zone.

One of the Coolest features I discovered this week is the Canvas feature, Which enables you to draw on an uploaded image of my Choice.
And to Practice it I picked an image for a car, I uploaded it on Fusion360 using insert menu, then I picked Canvas feature.
Then I started sketching on the uploaded image and started following the outline of the Car using the Fit Point Spleen feature.
Give it a try, It really helps!
