Week # 1 - Journal

First : 

• I pick a 3D model from open source

• CAD library (Thingiverse),  

• The printing time is less than 90 minutes.

• The 3D model is sliced at the proper parameter.

• I like Mario and everything for kids 

• I want to make kids' toys as a business.

Second : 

I pick from the library (3axis.co), Laser Cutting  file (Christmas tree) 

• DXF file 

• The 2D Tree is prepared for laser cutting at proper settings for cutting and engraving 

• I remove the parts no need it.

• My daughter will be happy when seeing this tree.

• I want to make gifts as a business.

3d printer  : 

Software : 

• I used "Ultimaker cura " software .

Materials : 

• I'll use Filament PLA  .

Machine

• Prusa i3 mk3 machine it's a good one .

Laser Cutting Machine : 

Software : 

• I used " Laser work " software. 

Materials : 

• wood material 3mm  .

Machine : 

• El Malky ML1390 CO2 Laser Cutter.

3d printer  :

This week's journey began with a Google search for the appropriate design

At the Thingiverse location specified in the requirements

According to the requirements, the file  .stl

I used the Cura program to open the file and set the  Resolution draft 0.2mm  and Infill 20 %  like  requirements for the time printing and Grams 

And I make the temperature 215 degrees 

According to the attached pictures

finally, I save file   *.gcode files of the model after slicing

I transferred it to my memory

And put it in the 3D printer

3d Printing

Laser Cutting Machine

I prepared the *DXF  

and make rd file 

And simulate cutting

Preparing the file  

settings for cutting and engraving

engraving : scan - speed 250 - power 20 

cutting : cut - speed 25 - power 65 

Then download the file to the machine

And put the wood sheet at the origin of the machine 

And press on the frame To check the cut area on the wood sheet

Then close the machine door and press run
