Creating My Own Space
INSPO
INSPO
Lately, I feel lost, I can't focus on what I want. Actually, I don't know what I want 😅
So, I was trying to put my hand on the problem, and the 1st thing that came to my mind was that: I don't have personal space in my house as I'm living with my family, I always used to think that having your own space helps you create, also it keeps you motivated and not distracted.
I thought if I made the accessories, and got the plant pots of this picture, maybe soon enough I'll get the desk, and then I'll go back on track!

Since I love Architecture madly, I wanted the accessories to remind me that I'm an Architect, also minimal, So I chose that inspo and started to search on the open-source

I'm an earring gurl✨
Side Note: this is a tiny part of my collection 😅
So, I wanted to make something from wood, also simple!

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?

The process:
The process:
1st I downloaded Laser Work software, searched on 3axis.com, and got the earrings DXF.
2nd I created 2 circles, so I can hang it.
3rd I saved the file as "rld", and put it on the flash, but it didn't work.
4th It's better to be saved as "ai", after that I faced another problem, the Curves were overlaid on each other, by using Corel Draw, and the virtual segment delete tool, it was trimmed easily.
5th I downloaded the file to the machine, and et voila!
Imported the Dxf file to LaserWork
Added circles for the rings, made some of the leaves engraved.
Adjusting the speed, and the power.
Side note: you click on the line you want to choose, then click on the color to apply the order.
Exporting the file as rld, and ai.
The process:
The process:
1st I downloaded Cura software, searched on thingsverse.com, and chose the planter as STL.
2nd I opened it on Cura, and changed the settings as shown in the 2nd picture.
3rd I saved the file as "g_code'', as "PI3MK2_large-Alaa_Elboushy_1h5m_16g-5.25m"
4th So after choosing the file, there were some challenges, but eventually, we managed to print 🥳
5th After printing, I sprayed alcohol and took my planter home 💃
The main size:
The main size:
It would take 4 hrs 30 mins, and 50 gms, so I started modifying the scale before anything.
The modified size:
The modified size:
I knew that it wouldn't be in its perfect size or functionality, but it also has character 😅
Details:
Details:
Reducing the infill denisty / layerheight to 10%, the resolution to 0.3mm.
Not using a support lead to a printing problem later - more in challenges-
Saved the file to desk in g_code.

How I used it?
1) Put the file on the reader.
2) Choose the file on the printer.
3) Choose ''preheat'', and I wanted to change the filament color, so I clicked on ''unload filament'' after the bed was heated.
4) Adjust the filament, as it needs to be pointed -Cut it to 45 degrees-.
5) Choose "Load filament'', make sure you see the color.
6) Click "print".
