-There were two challenges
1- 3D printing
2- laser cutter
-The fabrication is the main topic i entered this diploma for,As i use alot at prototyping stage on all my projects.
-What i did in this week is to laser cut a tea coaster on Laser cutter.(plywood 3mm)
and use 3D printer to print Fidged toy. (PLA)

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Softwares used:
I use Ultimaker Cura in 3D printing and LaserWork in laser cutting
Machines used:
Morn MT3050D CO2 Laser Cutter
PRUSA i3 MK2 3D Printer
Materials used (and Why):
PLA in 3D Printer ()
PLYwood 3mm in Laser cutter (because it is the material of the wood sheet which is sponsored from diploma :-) )

About Laser cuter
1) Search for Coaster.dxf file to cut it using Laser cutter.(I found it here: Coaster.dxf )
2 )use LaserWork software to handle the design and save it in (rld) format and save this file on my Flash memory
with some details:
I handeled the dimnsions to be 75*75mm
then select word Tea to be scaned(Engraving) by changh its color and change the color setting to has speed 300mm/s and use 25% of the power of machine.
then save the file with rld extension to my flash memory
About 3D printer
1)Get T letter stl file
Search for toy.stl file to import it to Ultimaker Cura.(I found it here:toy.stl )
2) then use Ultimaker Cur software to handle the design and save it in (gcode) format and save this file on my Flash memory
with some details:
I handeled the dimnsions to be 50mm in Z_axis
then select the perfect position to print( Ichose the face to be landed on bed).
Customize the Default parameters.(profiles 0.2, infill 20, Adhesion and support placement (Touching Buildplate)
then click slice and check the layers, time and grams.
clicked preview and see the inclined links.
and finally save the file in gcode extension to my flash memory.
You can see the 3D Model better on this Sketchfab link":

To be more familiar with these steps please read the manual of each machine first.
You can find the link at the tool chain question.
Development/Implementation Process
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?

About Laser Cutter:
I handeled the dimnsions to be 70*70mm
the steps
Installations the sheet well with yellow sticky paper
focus
handle file of tea coaster with mobile holder(I will explain at week2 journal) to save the sheet from waste
Download then go to machine and follow the manual.
to be more familiar about the other photos which is present the steps you should check the manual of the machine that I mentioned at tool chain question.
About 3D Printer:
Check the file with specialist and change
the temperature to 215ْC.
move the part away from the 2 screws on the bed
Save file gcode to the SD memory of the machine
Put SD to the machine and select the file
Wait till the felement was heated and watching the first 5 layers to be made successfully.

I learned how to build my documantation.
there was a descosion about on of my mate final project and I heared about a new sensor called flex sensor wich can detect motion like (finger motion)
you can find it at follow link (https://store.fut-electronics.com/products/flex-sensor-5-6-cm-detect-bending-motion?_pos=2&_sid=0c9aca29a&_ss=r )
I suggest to follow fusion tuturials
this link is intro with good project which will be recommended of you have any back information about modeling or have experiance with any modling software(https://www.autodesk.com/campaigns/fusion-360-learning/webinar-gettingstarted )
but if you don't have the experience you may need to start from scratch so I recimmend this playlist for you(https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmrBZnxzVKmnZVX_ber7lGWWHoUKtBPYi )
ENJOY

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?

My specific challenge is to Meets Expectations.
1) I got a lasr cutting part without Engraving (Medal) which lead me to repeat my search till I found tea coaster
2) I got a letter T to print on prusa to insert it through medal but by changing medal design I change this design to fidged toy (The picture of this toy is explained at WOW question) but the required was one part
So, I search for the third time to find the final toy I printed.

My final project depends on Laser cutter machine as I will make the waals of the home using this machine (scanning or making holes at this walls which will help me alot).
WOW!
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

Fidged toys I saw while Searching but unfortunately I had to make single part.
This toy I found it while searching.
It's amazing as its connections are fleixable and hidden
