my little brother love bicycles very very much and i live him so i decided to make him a sunglasses shaped as bicycle.
i searched at pintrest for inspiration and this design i chose.
for dimensiond i got some help from google.
programs:
-laser cutting i use laser work.
-3D printing i use cura Ultimaker.
-fusion 360 for making my design sketch.
material:
-laser cutting i use plywood material.
-3D printing i use poly lactic acid.
machines:
-lasrer cutting machine.
-brusa 3d printer.

fusion 360
i used fusion360 to draw my sunglasses frame i make sure the sketch is fully define.
the i convert it to dxf. file to be ready for laser cut process.
i used fusion360 to draw my sunglasses arms, i make sure the sketch is fully defined at this step i used sweep to convert my sketch to a 3d design because this part will be printed by 3d printer.
when i finished i convert it to stl. file to be ready for 3d printing process.
LASRE CUT process
i imported the file in the laser work program, adjusted just beside the origin.
I modified the design based on the power and speed ..
where:
For cutting: speed: 25 mm/sec Power: 55%
For ingraving: speed: 150 mm/sec Power: 20%
i download the file at tha machine, set the focus and test the frame work for the machine and give it the order to work.

3D PRINTING
i upload the "3d design" file which i download from " thingiverse" website, then, the files were imported at CURA software, placed as wanted,i modified the design to make sure that the kilograms and the time are suitable by changing the scale and the infill.
layer thickness was selected by 0.3, infill is 80% without support,
also the printing temperature is adjusted on 215 degree.
After that the file had been sliced, giving the final time 40min and 5g.
production process
3d printing
final product
i used a M3 scerw and nut to link the two parts together throw the two holes i made at my sketch with 3.3 mm for arms and 3mm for frame.
i made a mistake at my sketch i was that i do not make a suitable space around the 3 mm hole which make it cracking after the cutting process.
i fixed it by using glue and tissues to make support around the crack.
using fusion for modelling my project
the coolest thing was using fusion 360 where it is my first time to use it,
i will never forget to make sure the holes i made have the suitable space around it so the cracks is not exist at the end of the process.
