The pen holder consists of 6 different faces ; Base , front, back , middle , right side, and left side
The base shape of each face is a rectangle with its associate dimensions
Make draft design on canson paper to calibrate model dimensions and prepare joints
Using fusion 360 and repeat the following steps for each face:
1- Create component
2- Create sketch
3- Draw rectangle , set dimensions , and add tabs
4- Extrude 3 mmBetween front and base , create T-slot to provide strong fixation.
Between all other faces , use finger joint
Assemble the 6 bodies according to the initial design using best pivots to align.
Install program "save DXF for laser cutting"
Select each face and save as dxf for laser cutting using "Create" menu
