Glasses PIC from Google
This week's idea is a pair of glasses that combine prints and pieces with a screw and a nut
I searched on Google and found the attached image to make it easier to know the dimensions of the glasses
And I drew it on Fusion
I care because it's a good practice
My interest in the idea because it gives me good training on using several programs in addition to the printer and cutting machine

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
software :
I used Google search to find the dimensions of the glasses
Then I used fusion 360 to make the design and get two files :
1 - file (.dxf) - the front face of glasses and use (laser work) software to prepare to Laser Cutter Machine
2 - file (save as mash ) - the Side Arms to make a file (.STL) to use it with ( Ultimaker Cura software) to make a file (.gcoe) to print it on 3D Printer
Machines :
Laser Cutting Machine :
Morn MT3050D CO2 Laser Cutter machine
3d printer :
Prusa i3 mk2 machine
Materials:
I use Filament PLA purple 6 g 2.1m.
sheet wood material 3m - size 40 * 130 mm .
I chose the above because they are most suitable for making good glasses

Explain the design and/or preparation process of your assignment. How did you use the tool or software to design and/or prepare your assignment before fabrication/implementation?
Explain the design and/or preparation process of your assignment. How did you use the tool or software to design and/or prepare your assignment before fabrication/implementation?
After searching on Google and finding the appropriate dimensions for the glasses
1 - I started Create the front face
Create 2D file in Fusion software
Create a Sketch
Draw a square starting from the origin
I worked inside it and drew two equal left and right circles
I drew a curve under the two circles and Trim the lower part of the square
To give a new shape to the glasses and set the dimensions
Make all lines Fully Defined
And I made a small curve above the glasses left and right
I also put holes for the nail left and right to match the arms
I set the dimensions of everything when I drew it
The following tools were used to draw this part :
Rectangle - circle - line - point - trim - vertical - coincident - mirror
2 - I started to Create the Side Arms
I create a 3D file
Create a Sketch
draw a rectangle is on the origin and at the end,
I added two lines in the form of a curve to make the part that is located behind the ear
At the end of them, I made fillet
Then Extrude all
Make all lines Fully Defined
then I Created a new sketch in another side from arm to make a rectangle and a hole that used by screw and nut
Same size as the hole used in the front face
Make all lines Fully Defined
And save the file as a mash
To make the glasses aesthetically pleasing, I painted the face of the glasses
By pressing the right button of the mouse on the body then choosing Appearance then I press glass \ red
for ARMS I choose glass \ widow
then close

First Part
I went to the Fab Lab in my slot time
I have a laptop and design files
The specialist looked at the file on my device
I started with the Side Arms
I made a review the file, review the Slice, and the print time
And the number of grams used to print the arms
and design requirements
I found it according to the attached picture, 60 grams - 28 minutes
This is because I chose Infill 20 And profiles 0.3 mm
And set the print temperature setting to 215 C
And save the file to memory
I turned on the printer and waited for it to warm up print it
The second part
Cut the front Face
I prepared the *DXF file and opened it in Laser work .
And simulate cutting
Preparing the file set the speed to 25 and the power between 50 and 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
last part
Using the screw and nut to connect the two parts, according to the attached pictures

I faced several challenges
And I learned a lot this week
The first challenge - printing the Side Arms
When preparing the file for printing on Cura
I copied the arm and placed it next to the other and printed it
This resulted in the arms being identical
And the screw part is inside the frame in one and outside the frame in the second
And I get advice from my instructor to make a mirror - for the arm
Attached is a picture of the matching arms
The second part: the front face
When I opened the file on the laser work
I found the design size was very large than the area of the machine
The solution was to close the design dimensions and make the dimensions 10% , this advice from instructor in the lab before cutting
And I make sure the design is according to my dimensions completely
Final Project
Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
Preparation for the final project
I have learned new things
The most important of which is good planning during design to produce a good object without errors
Revision is important after the design and confirmation of the correct dimensions Fully Defined
I used two laser cut machines. , And also two types of printers with different versions
And I learned to connect the pieces together from different materials
** What I learned made me ready to make the body for my final project well and tightly bonded
WOW!
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
The coolest thing I learned is the Fusion program and I'm still learning it
A comprehensive program that makes a very important design that you can imagine
It is achievable because it was designed for it
Do what you imagine
