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)

We started this week with a small activity, creating a pen holder, and this was a prelude to this week's assignment.

As sketchers, we use pencils a lot, and we need a pencil holder.

Tool Chain

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

designed with fusion 360

material: eSun PLA+ (white)

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?

First, we start sketching the base and extrude the sketches into 3D models with fusion 360.

First, we sketched our design.

drawing polygon and an unformed shape from the side to make the base

The second step is to make an extruded cut to create the inside space.

and filt the upper poylgan of the outerline

The Last step after we finish the sketches and transfer them into bodies, we begin customizing them with the appearance features. By double-clicking on the body tab from the side-bar, you can now choose the appearance in whatever material you want.

Last but not least, we save it as an STL file, then open it with Cura to slice it and prepare it to be printed.

support and adhesion

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?

After we transfer the g code from the laptop to the SD card, we insert the memory card into the printer and run it. But first, we ensure the measurement of pad heat and the nozzle heat is proper.

After we finish printing, the cleaning process begins. We start by taking off the supports and the adhesion we added before.

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?

The first time we printed this piece, the printer stopped working, and my colleague Farida informed me of this problem, and I volunteered to collect the SSS files and send them to the lab administrator to print them. She helped me in the way of sending and settling the files.

When my colleague Mert needed her and when she had a suitable date, I gave up my appointments for them.

After I fabricate my design, Ahmad shows me how I can remove unnecessary extras without damaging my piece.

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 the printer started doing the brim, the brim kept cracking out of the pad, so I asked the fab lab specialist, Ahmad, and he told me that I should raise the pad heat to 60 and the nozzle to 210, and it work

Final Project

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

i can design the small parts and the thick one with fusion and fabricated with the 3D printer

WOW!

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

I and the specialist Ahmad get throw a conversation and he told me about 3d printing and other materials that are used in the medical field and how hard it is to deal with them. He told me about Ebs material, which is strong but risky to print. It needs a high temperature and something called a raft to avoid warping. and It happens because of the difference in temperature between the surface and the bottom.

He told me about how we can design a toy like Mikky, One Body with movable joints, and that kind of printing needs you to design the supports in your design so you can break it easily later.

and I try it myself and break mikky head supports it was a very satisfying feeling.

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.
