Personality Reveal Glasses 👀
INSPO
INSPO
Actually, I struggle in reading people, I don't know if they're tending to be good to me or having a secret intention to hurt me 😅
So, What if?
We can create glasses that sums up the person traits, if they can match my freak 🤓
The 1st Ideation
The 1st Ideation
It looked like a circle, as I wanted it to imitate the "eye", if the person is good, it stays translucent, if the person has an evil side, it turns red, as we say "I'll show you the red eye - هوريك العين الحمرا"
That sentence is related to the ancient Egyptians actually, you can know more about that from the fun fact below ⤵️
The 2nd Ideation
The 2nd Ideation
I refused the 1st idea; because it wouldn't give me the space in using wood, so I started to frame it, and divided it into two lenses, but I wouldn't say I liked it.
So I was thinking if I can see people clearly, but I can't see them clearly if this makes any sense😅
I thought if I got an oculist's glasses, maybe then it'll save me 🌚
Fun Fact
Fun Fact
Since I love history, I read once that Sekhmet, an ancient Egyptian Goddess had two sides, as she was known as the goddess of war, life, and medicine.
She was created from his father's anger, God Ra', her duty was to destroy mortals who conspired against him, but after killing them, she turned into a monster, and couldn't stop killing, so she killed innocents, and almost destroyed humanity.
So God Ra' came up with a plan, they poured out a lake of beer dyed with red ochre, so that it resembled blood. Mistaking the beer for blood, Sekhmet drank it all and became so drunk that she gave up on the slaughter and returned peacefully to Ra.
She turned into a better version and became also the goddess of life, that's why she had two sides, so "I'll show you the red eye"; because of Sekhmet's red eye.

Using #rule0 1st is a must, I started by sketching my idea based on the referenced dimensions of glasses.
I started by drawing the circles, imagined how I wanted the frame exactly, and then made the circular pattern for the measuring units of the glasses.
Preparation of the 2D part
Preparation of the 2D part
I drew the details of the right side lens and then mirrored them, which was a mistake. I defined every point I drew, and then I knew that I don't have to; because every time I trimmed anything, the drawing turned undefined.
Kept defining 😑
I drew a line in the middle so I could mirror it, but it led to undefining parts when I removed it, so I figured out that I should make the line-type construction.
Final Result after trimming:
Final Result after trimming:
I fixed four points; because it was time-consuming, I searched for what part was undefined, but I couldn't find it.
I loved it though 🤓
I extruded the drawing, kept the sketch, and exported the file as DXF.
Adding every line to its category.
I drew the arm, defined it, and decided that I'd make the other adjustments to the 3d section.
The preparation process of 3D part:
The preparation process of 3D part:
1st Extrusion of the sketch.
2nd Filleting some parts, extruding the part of the screw, and sketching it.
3rd Filleting the sharp edges of the arm.
4th Mirroring the arm away from origin point.
5th Saving the file as Mesh.
6th Adjusting the values I want to print with.
Infill 20%, Resolution 0.2mm, no Supports.
7th After slicing, it took 3 grams, 1.1m filaments, and 24 minutes, and saved to desk.

The 2D part went very smoothly, as the file was ready for cutting.
The 3D part printing was easy, but I knew after that the sketch was wrong, so I had to modify the sketch, and print it again.

Drawing the circular pattern in the beginning led to lagging the file.
Definition of 4 points, so I fixed them.
Text can't be mirrored or rotated, so it's time-consuming.
Modifying every detail on the sketch, later I knew that I could extrude it without all that, but it was useful in the Laserwork part.
The angles of the inclined lines show up like construction lines in Fusion 360, but it does show up as a line in Laserworks, so I had to scale them, but couldn't remove them though.
The arm was pretty thin, which led to a problem.
The hole of the screw was quite messy, and there was not enough space beside the holes.
Once I started using M3, it collapsed, and I had to print another one with different dimensions.
Modifying the width of the arm from 3.8mm to 8mm, also modified the screw size, I made it wider.

I made another file on Cura with the above properties.
Saved to desk, and print on Prusa.

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?
Became familiar with Fusion 360, it was a dream actually.
Knowing more about printing.
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?
A lot actually!
I learned about documentation, and how it should be.
Also, Fusion 360! It's been one of my goals since last July 😅 I knew about it from Saeed, and I wanted to learn it since then.
Learning by doing is the besssttt, and the shortest way you know!
Finally, "Perfectionism is your enemy" said Menna.
It kills me, but it's true af 😭

ROBINION Making
ROBINION Making
Robinion is a bookmark, its body is a robot, and the head is like Minions.
We didn't plan to be like that, but every step in the process led there.
It was meant to have a big, tall head, instead, the screws forced us on a specific ratio, Also the body should be smaller, but there were a lot of challenges in drawing, so we couldn't remake it again.
Finally, we loved it, I learned a lot from making it, and I need to grow my navigating skills 😂
