The idea of week one was a {3d printed fidget cube } and {Laser cut XO}
Actually, it was a GREAT experience to use CAD software, design and manufacture your preferred design
Fidget cube
XO game
The first time ever to use a 3D printer, laser cutting machine, and CAD software
I felt like an engineer, it was amazing and wired to be treated as an architect especially that I came with a biological background
I used to make these products using a " 3D printer" & "laser cutting machine" for the first time in my life!
Tool Chain
Tool Chain
By using laser cutting machine for the first time ever! I make the simple entertainment tool ever.
By using laser cutting machine for the first time ever! I make the simple entertainment tool ever.
Software:
Laser works.
to prepare the rld. file for cutting by laser and adjust the cutting power
Machines:
Lase cutting machine.
Materials :
3mm Plywood.
Me using laser cutting machine for the first time
And for stress releasing manners, I used to print my FIDGET CUBE for the first time using 3D printing machine
Pursa 3D printer
Cura software
to slice the product and adjust all dimensions

Product
At the first, you are going to search on a public library like thingiverse to pick a design
1- download the design file
2- import it on CURA software
3- adjust your design due to your material
4- move the design from the bed center to any side to avoid the nails of the bed
5- Extract the G-code the go to the 3D printer
6- heat the bed on 220c the start the printing process
3D printing parameters for the fidget cube
profile: 0.3
infill: 20
x =29.9m
y=60m
z=14.7m

At the first you are going to search on a public library like 3axis.co to pick a design
1- download the .Dxf file
2- import it on Laser work software
3- adjust your design due to your material
4- remove construction lines then preview to make sure everything is clear
5- Save rld. file
6- import the file on the machine computer then download and start cutting

As an engineer, you have to adjust and customize all factors that affect your product quality

Laser work control panel
the all process were cutting and there is no engravings, so the the parameters were as follow
speed : 15
Power : 70
CURA parameters that match the time and No. of grams required to this task

Anas is a senior Engineer, Instructor and Designer
I were lucky that he was my peer at this activity
he helped me a lot with design concepts and machine handling
he told me to move the design from the center of the bed, to avoid the bed nails

I am so lucky to learn from one of the brilliant makers, Eng. Ahmed Abdelnaser.
He is the group instructor, and he always shares very exciting ideas and constructive feedback
I had had a problem with the term "fully defined" I did not have any idea about how to make your design fully defined but he demonstrate the idea behind this and how to use the axis to make your design fully defined.

Making my first product using new technologies for the first time was an amazing experience
I established my MAKER MUSEUM in my room and started to collect all products that I have made on this journey
