I am very interested in science and how to teach it. I work as a science facilitator and every time I start a new learning journey I see how it can help me in my work and in teaching science. So I decided to make some models .

Laser Cutting
The process:
The process:
1st I downloaded it from the svgrepo - Flask website.
2nd Used cloudconvert to convert from SVG to DXF
3rd Using RDWorks software to prepare the shape for manufacturing on the laser machine.
cut ( speed : 30 , power : 65 )
scan ( speed : 300 , power : 50 )
and saved the file as "ai".
4th I downloaded the file to the machine, and it printed it..
3D printing
The process:
The process:
1st I downloaded Cura software, searched on Printables , and chose the shape as STL.
2nd I opened it on Cura, and changed the settings.
Resolution : 0.2mm
Infill : 20%
support type : tree - touching Buildplate
No brim
parameter : 4cm * 3.5cm
3rd I saved the file as "Astronaut_8G_56min_white_g_code'' .
4th I printed it and it was great to see the pattern printed on the machine for the first time.

Laser Cutting ( El Malky ML149 CO2 Laser Cutter )
How I used it?
1) Make sure that the file you're printing is yours. 2) Put your plywood sheet.
3) Put the magical tool that holds your sheet. 4) Adjust the focal length.
5) Choose the place you want to print by using arrows. 6) Make it the origin point.
7) Click on "frame" to detect the size. 8) Click on "start" to cut.
3D Printing ( PRUSA i3 MK2 3D Printer )
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".

The biggest challenge was traveling from Alexandria to Cairo to print the project, and I did that twice.

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
The First 3D Printing experience was exceptional.
It was so cool seeing the layers building the design and slowly starting to see the virtual design in real life.
