Week 2 - Journal

The Glasses consists of 2 parts

1.       Frame

2.       Arms

Frame part

I started searching for the frame dimensions so it can be realistic

The frame part is made of lines and arcs so I made a new file and started drawing

I started with a center line that I will draw the right half of the frame and then I will mirror it around the center line

Using the line, arcs, and circle commands I made the right half and made sure that every point was fully defined using the dimension tool

After that, I made the mirror Command, and then  I extruded the frame with 3 mm in thickness and chose the appearance (Nylon 12)

for the chape 

Lastly, I made the fillet feature for the glasses surface and then Exported it in a  dxf to be ready for Cutting

I imported the file RDWorks and adjusted the orientation and cutting parameters which are (speed = 42, power = 55)

I saved the file in rld form

The Glasses consists of 2 parts

1.       Frame

2.       Arms

Arms part

I got the arm dimensions from the internet so it can be realistic

I sketched the arm using the line and arc command

I gave it a proper length and radius, made an offset with the height of the arm, and defined every point using the dimension command so it became fully defined

At this point, it was ready to be extruded so I made the extrusion command with a thickness of 2 mm

I made another sketch perpendicular to the first one with a circle in the middle to be aligned with the circle in the frame then defined every point

After that, I made an extrusion of 3 mm 

for the fillet feature of the arms, I chose the edges of the arms and then made a fillet of 0.5 mm so the arms would be rounded

chose the appearance  for the whole shape (ABS Blastic)

now we have the arms ready to be printed

I exported the folder from Fusion to be opened on Cura software

I revolved the arms and adjusted their orientation 

Infil 20%

Draft .3

No adhesion or support

And sliced it to find out it would be 6 grams and take 28 minutes

Finally, I exported the g-code to start printing

we mastered some of the fusion 360 hacks and techniques which will help in making a good sketch then generate a body from it to be cut with laser machine
