The assignment's idea for this week is to design and assemble a pen and pencil holder on Fusion 360, I was inspired by this 2-in-1 elephant holder that can be used as a mobile and pen holder, the trunk of the elephant is curved upward so that it can be used as a stand to hold a mobile phone and the body will be used to hold stationary items inside it.

1. I decided to start with the base so i created a component with the name of support panel, i create my sketch on the x-y axis (Bottom).

2. I started by drawing a ( 82× 82) square and i decided to make the origin in the middle of this square in order to make circular pattern easier so i created 2-points and define them with the side to square as (82/2).

3. I drew the T-Slot and 2-Taps on one of the side of the square, then i made a circular pattern with quantity 4 to make T-slot on each side.

4. Drew a circle 3mm in the center of the square. 

5. After i finished sketching this side i Extrude it by 3mm.

1. I created a new component with the name of front- back panel, i created my sketch on one of the taps of the support panel.

2. Project the taps and start drawing a circle 3mm between them to be the hole that the nail will entre from.

3. Drew a rectangle ( 76× 82).

4. Drew  T-Slots on the right and mirror it to the left side.

5. After i finished sketching this side i Extrude it by 3mm.

6. From joint i start assembling the support side with the front side.

7. Copy - Paste the front side in order to make the back side.

8. Assemble the back side with the support panel.

1. I created a new component with the name of middle panel in order to divide the holder into 2-compartments to hold different stationary items.

2. I created the sketch on the middle taps of the support panel.

3. Drew a rectangle ( 70× 82), and why 70 not 76 like the previous side actually that happened because in the front-back sides there are 3mm below the taps that make these sides shifted down and another 3mm as the taps of the middle panels will be assembled from up.

4. Drew the taps, then Extrude the sketch by 3mm.

5. Assemble the middle panel with the support panel.

1. I created a new component with the name of Elephant side

2. Create the sketch on one of the taps, then project all the taps.

3. It was really hard to decide where should i start, so i started with the legs, then the trunk and the full body it wasn't easy at all it took alot of time but finally after Extruding it and applying fillets, i was satisfied El7amdllAllah.

4. Then i created a new sketch after extruding to draw the eyes and extrude it.

5. Then i decided to add some decorations on the elephant, so i start editing on its the original sketch and add some geometrical shapes and extrude them.

6. Assemble the elephant side with the other sides.

7. Copy this side to create the left side.

8. Assemble the left side.

It was such an amazing session with many challenges. 💪 Working with a great team to design, fabricate, and assemble a lantern, we started by creating a plan, which was the most important part. 💡 Then, we decided to work by dividing ourselves into one driver and two navigators.  I learned a lot from my teammates and instructors and, of course, had a lot of fun. 😄

Comparing my first time using Fusion last week to now, I am really impressed with what I have learned and am still eager to learn more. 🤓
