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)

Phone holder

I search on google and I find some designs but it will take so much time, so I watched some videos and I find this design cool and simple.

Tool Chain

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

Fusion 360

it helped me to design the holder easily and efficiently

and the new feature made the fusion more flexible and amazing.

3D printer

because I want to make a 3D shape.

Cura

So that I can slice my design, change the dimensions, infill and profile.

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?

Watch a video and I edited some features to match the requirements of assignments

At the first, I draw a circle, did an offset plane to make another one from the same center after that I made loft to connect them with each others.

I used shell to make a hole in the design, draw this shape on different plane and put it on the shape with emboss after that I repeated it with pattern.

I made the dimensions on the cura smaller than fusion to meet the requirements, made the infill 20 and profile 0.4. It took 25g and an hour, and 36min. without support because the design did not need it.

Used PLA material.

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?

Editing the parameters to fit the requirements, put the design on SD card, preheating the machine and start printing.

Community of Learning

Did you ask for feedback? What are the ideas that others have contributed or suggested? What was someone else’s idea that you built upon? How did you help your peers? How did your peers help you?

In my assignment at first, I did my design with extruding only but when I was talking my peers suggested doing it with loft, because the extrude only will not go work.

In the EO week session, I did not know how to add this face.

Eman helped me to do it when we worked together, and we help each other in the design which we suggest different ideas for drawing the sketch.

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?

I stuck with the time of printing because it took so much time

but I change some dimensions, infill, and profile to meet the requirements.

Final Project

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

After the videos and knowloadge of the week, I get familier with fusion and cura more than before and I think I can design any shape or design I think of it, So this will help me in my final project and make it in a professional way.

Also I learned how to think about the final projects as a material and what material I should use to be more effiecient.

WOW!

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

Title of Media

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.
