WEEK 3 - Journal
Ideation
The idea of this week was an integration to all that you learned at FUSION360
Using all design skills that you have learned
design a "cool" pencil holder!
Sample of a plastic pencil holder
After the searching process, I found that funny holder! It seems like minions and somehow it seems like a robot or aliens!
To sketch this shape, you will use a lot of FUSION360 features, tools, and sup tools like Loft, Extrude, cut, sweep, shilling, offset and so on...
I liked it, so i made it!
Tool Chain
Using Pursa 3D printer
To make your pencil holder from the sketch to the bench
Software:
Fusion 360
CURA
Machines:
Prusa Mk3 3D printer
Materials :
esun PLA+ Filament.
PURSA 3D printer
Design/Preparation Process
Design a low fadelity prototype for your prouduct using card board
1- Lofting
2- Extrude
3- Building the face and eyes using another plates
4- Fillet the top
5- Fillet the base
6- Cut the mouse by extrude
Whole model in FUSION 360
Development/Implementation Process
As an engineer, you have to adjust and customize all factors that affect your product quality

Find a weirdo like you and never let them go
Eng. Omar Sinbesy
It is super nice to meet Sinbesy at the lab.
He is one of the most influential characters that I have met!
I did know how to draw the eyes of my pencil holder, I have seen the tutorials a lot but I did not get it!
I decided to go to the lab then ask anyone from the instructors before printing, once I arrived I found him at the lab then he told me about the tangent plane that helped to draw on the cylinder.

Overcoming Challenges
Making a full design from A to Z using FUSION is NOT an EASY task for a beginner like me!
But with help of Sinbesy it became easier
I had had problems in my design using the Extrude cut feature, it was building the distance between the plane and cutting area!
He told me about the tangent planes instead of the physical plane I have drawn, and it worked with me!
He helped me to finish my last 3D product and solve these issues in my design
