Week 3 - Journal

always inspired with the structure of honey bees molds and that is the core inspiration of my pen holder

By using Fusion 360 3D modeling features i created this model to be used as a pen holder.

after exporting STL file from fusion its time to prepare design for printing throw Ultimaker Cura and set printing parameters as stated in photo

after prepareing my file and start printing the lab specilist told me that i had to avoid printing in thickness 0.4 again because i cause a lot of problems during printing and this point make me know why an extra layers printed whitout being in the model itself.

because the more thickness we have for printing it doesn't cool in the right time before moving to another layer and that might cause damage for the model.

while printing my model i faced a little problem with some extra layers printed without being in the model and i had to figure out how to stop printing to remove this part before continue printing the whole model and as stated in video i figurad out how to pause printing to adjust in the real product then continue printing

being able to model something and convert it to a real thing in your hand is a big advanage will make me able to make some item to make my project more look good and able to hide a lot of things inside printed items.
