The assignment of this week is Design a model of a simple mobile phone holder by using Fusion 360 and fabricate it using Laser Cutting.
My idea:
My idea:
After searching on the internet I found many designs. But I found most of the designs are normal without anything striking or new and I was looking for a simple and creative design that meets with the requirements of the assignment. Then I found this design and I cared about it because it is simple and new design a then decided to implement a similar design, but with some additions like T slot
Tool Chain
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Software:
Fusion 360
I use it to design the model because it is very simple and easy to use and perfect to design a 2.5D
Laser Work V6
I use it because it very simple and i can edit the design and also because it suitable with the machine in lap
Machine:
Laser Cutting machine
Morn MT3050D CO2 Laser Cutter
Because it is the available
Materials:
3 mm Baltic Birch Plywood

Firstly: Prepare before design
Firstly: Prepare before design
By searching to find the most design I will interest to.
Sketching a free hand design with pen and paper

2- Start Design
2- Start Design
Start a new sketch
Select the plane (Side)
Start sketch with a line at the origin point to make the sketch fully defined
Draw the side by using (Line, Rectangle, Circle, Point, Mirror and trim) and define by using constrains like (Parallel)
And then draw the Supporter

3- Start Assembly
3- Start Assembly
Extrude the 2D sketches to 2.5 D with 3 mm
Make a copy of the side and two of the support
Start assembly by (Joint)
The final model

3- The DXF files
3- The DXF files
Save the two sketches with DXF extension
4- Preparing the RLD file
4- Preparing the RLD file
Import the DXF files into the laser work software and adjusting the cut power and save with RLD extension
Development/Implementation 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?
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 the software files were finished, I went to the Fab Lab to implement the design
Firstly, Open my RLD file in the computer of the machine and then operate the laser cutting machine and download the file from the computer to the machine memory
Secondly, Open the file in the machine memory and adjust the focus and make sure about the coordinates by the (Track frame) and then Run
Thirdly, Start cutting, and after finish making sure that all parts are completely cut

At the end, Start assembly the parts by the bolts and nuts with the T - Slot. And this is the final mobile holder

Yes I asked instructor Amany about her feedback and She gave me some ideas like smoothing out the sharp edges and painting it with a good color

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?

When I import the the DXF file into the laser work I found some construction lines which I cannot delete them because when trying to delete the lines it delete the design also.
So i went to the sketch in fusion 360 and delete the construction lines and redefine all the dimensions

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
I have gained some knowledge that will help me in making the design of the body of the laptop cooler by the laser cutter and the power values, velocities and coordinates
WOW!

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
The coolest thing that I have learned this week is how to design any 2.5D models and fabricate a mobile holder with the laser cutting machine by my own design
