Week 3

Ideation

Tell us about your assignment's idea for this week. Why do you care about this idea? What inspired you? (Please include images or links to sources of inspiration)

Design a model of a pen and pencil holder that may rest on a flat surface (Table Top). Be creative and come up with the coolest pen and pencil holder.

Using Fusion 360, design the pen and pencil holder so that it consists of multiple 2.5D parts (at least three) and assemble them using proper joints. Fabricate the 2.5D parts using Laser Cutting
Your pen and pencil holder should contain at least 2 compartments to hold different stationary items (For example, a compartment for pens and the other for sticky notes or paper clips)
Select the proper joints that fit your form (T-slot, and/or Bracket with captive nut). Design the joints using Fusion 360 and fabricate it using 3D Printing (Only if you decide to use a bracket with captive nut)
For inspiration, conduct Google search using the keywords: Laser Cut + Pencil Holder

Inspired by this beautiful product, I try to make a cool holder.

I was also touched by this beautiful map and this case that we all carry within us.

this link helped me to confirm a suitable size for the holder.

Tool Chain

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?

The software helped me to design and present my idea.

Autodesk Fusion 360

Ultimaker Cura

The software helped me to prepare my design for a 3D printer.

The software helped me to prepare my design for the laser cutting machine.

laserWork

3D printer

The machine helped me to implement my design.

Laser Cutting

PLA

The material helped me to implement my design in 3D printing.

The material that helped me to implement my design in laser cutting.

plywood 3mm

Design/Preparation Process

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?

First step design & 3D molding

we need to show how we make this holder.

I opened Fusion 360 and made the zero rule which save a file.

I made the first rule "crate component".

STEP 1

Making the first panel which will coped 4 times to make a pen holder.

biguine with creating components and drawing skitch for the first panel and extrud it 3mm.

I copped this part to make the back panel and set the position by rotation.

then I copied components and pest new to make sides, edited Skitch to add a T slot, and edited the X slot.

extruded side 3mm and coped with it to make another side.

STEP 2

I joined panels with each other.

I created a new component to seat the bottom.

I project T-slot positions and extruded beas.

join parts with each other.

I made a back panel for the note.

I added brackets and made a mobile holder.

STEP 3

using DFX extension I could save all surfaces that I need as dfx to cut them with a laser machine.

and save brackets as stl file.

this video preview all stapes.

Second Preparing for laser cutting and 3D printing

STEP 1

Use Laserworke Software to prepare the rld file.

I insert the file and set lines cooler to set which aria to cut and which to scan.

STEP 2

choose lines that are speed cut and are which is scan.

parameter:

cut power 👉 55 speed 👉 30

scan power 👉 25 speed 👉 300

speed cut power 👉 12 speed 👉 300

STEP 3

After confirming all the settings for the printing process and reviewing the printing method, we come to the file-saving stage.

saving by clicking save which is found on the left-up screen.

choose the folder and name it by writing details rld or ai extension.

STEP 4

I import the STL file into Cura to set sitting.

It will take 30 minutes and 5 grams.

Press preview.

Start adjusting my parameters:

1- resolution: 0.2mm Height & 3 wall line count.

2- Infill: I adjusted infill to 10%. with a Gyroid pattern.

3- support: no support.

4-Build plate adhesion: non.

Development/Implementation Process

Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?

First 3D Printing

With the help of a specialist in the lab. I took these steps.

We confirm is all settings are ok.
We unloaded the filament that was in Prusa and loaded another one.
I choose the file and press to start.
it takesd time to prepare it after printing.

Laser cutting

With the help of a specialist in the lab. I took these steps.

We confirm is all settings are ok.
I downloaded a file on a PC that contact with the laser machine.
I placed the piece of wood on the machine and made sure it was securely attached.
I set an origin point and made sure it was suitable by firm bottom.

Overcoming Challenges

What kinds of challenges or problems did you face while doing the assignment, tutorials, or exercises? How did you solve them? Did you ask for help from an instructor or peer? Please provide a link to the tutorial or article that you used to solve your problem (if any)

I had a problem making DXF files from the inclined surface using the DXF extension.

I found it made a sketch but it did not export it.

I opened the laser component and saved the sketch as a DXF file.

Final Project

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?

creating component is important thing to make good fusion file.

slots & bracts is virey important to make strong product.

WOW!

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

Making this amazing Lantern with an amazing team🥰.
