GOT Bookmake
While browsing through websites like Thingiverse and Printables, I found many bookmarks, each more exciting than the last. As a person who loves reading and watching series, I couldn't resist printing a bookmark that pays attention to the greatest series ever made: Game of Thrones. Being a big fan, especially of the clever and witty Tyrion Lannister, I was thrilled by the thought.
I searched and was surprised by the variety of bookmarks available on this topic. Among many designs, one stood out, perfectly suited for my current read a horror novel.
The bookmark seemed to suit the book's atmosphere, making it the perfect companion for my late-night reading sessions.

Ele Coaster
The assignment idea for this week is a cute elephant coaster.
I usually drink a cup of coffee after waking up while reading. So, I want to make a beautiful coaster to put the coffee on it.
I found this one at 3axis.co website at crd extension.

3D Printing:
Open Ultimaker Cura, choose the Prusa i3 Mk2 printer, and the kind of filament (PLA).
Importing the design into Cura software.
Adjusting the size and orientation to make it reduce supports as can as possible.
Using 0.2mm profile, 20% infill, everywhere support, and unused adhesion
Slicing to know the time on the machine, the mass of the design, and the preview.
Best Orientation
Preview
Laser Cutting:
Prepare the design at dxf file, not crd or anything else.
Open RDWorks, Importing the design.
Adjusting the size wanted and which profile is scanned or cut.
Customizing the power to be 45, and the speed to 40 mm/s.
Show the preview after editing.

3D Printing
I first chose the preferred color of the filament for the printing which is silver then changed the existing one with the silver one.
Then, know the temperature range for this filament from the ticket on it (190:210 C) and set up the temperature from the Cura software.
I put the SD card on a 3D printer and chose my file.
It began first with heating the bed and nozzle to 210 C, calibrating, and then starting the printing.
Using alcohol to remove the part out of the bed, tools like pliers and files to remove supports.
Laser cutting
After preparing the design in RDWorks, I downloaded it on the laser cutting machine
Next, I put a 3mm plywood sheet on the machine and secured it with 4 pieces of wood.
Then, I placed the new origin by moving the laser head and testing the frame to make sure it was suitable.
Finally, I pressed start to begin printing the design. The process took about 2 minutes.

Challenge: The design of the coaster that I found in 3axies.co was unfortunately at crd extension.
solution: I searched for a website that converts from crd to dxf and found this website Cloud Converter. It was very helpful.

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?
This week I learned how to use software such as RDWorks and Cura to prepare files to print, So I can use this knowledge to make sure that my parts for final projects are suitable to print or not.
prepare the parts on RDWorks and Cura to print at the phase of the final project.
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've learned this week is that teamwork is more fun than working alone even if it can take more time I will learn more things.
I will never forget if I want to scan the area between two profiles I have to make the two profiles at the scan selection because I made the outer profile scan and the inner profile speed cut but it did not work.
