While this week we should fabricate a cool glasses & I like fashion shows. I searched about different defelites for glasses and found this cool one and I decided to take my inspiration from it and put my fingerprint too.

It's So COOL & Perfect for a Fashion Show

To fabricate the glasses we used 2 different techniques, Laser cutting & 3D printing
To fabricate the glasses we used 2 different techniques, Laser cutting & 3D printing
Firstly using Fusion 360 to design our glasses
Secondly using Laser Work to prepare our glass face design to be cutted on 3ml wood
Thirdly using UltiMaker Cura to prepare our glass arms design to be printed with PLA filament
Finally using M3 screws & nuts to fix the 2 parts together

Design/Preparation Process
Phase 1 : Glass Face
Phase 1 : Glass Face
Fabricated using 3mm wood cutted on laser cutting machine and designed as 2.5 D on fusion 360
I started drawing the eye circles around the origin point and made sure that they are fully defined. then connected them together
designed the butterfly wing on the right side then used the mirror feature to copy the pattern to the other direction
I added 2 collinear holes for the M3 screws.
Defined the whole lines then finish the sketch
Extrude the sketch to 3mm to fit the wood used
Phase 2 : Glass Hand
Phase 2 : Glass Hand
Fabricated using PLA on 3D printing machine
Started by drawing a not complete circle in a new sketch
Created an offset plan above it with a space 10 cm between them
Copied the same circle lines by using project feature
Reduce the curve size using offset feature
Used the feature called "Loft" to extrude the bottom circle to the above circle.
With the same technique and in different direction of offset and lofting I made the rest of the arm and with length 4 cm to complete the whole arm length 14 cm.
Added a gray metal appearance for the arm
I wanted to use T-slot technique to fix the arm to the glass so I designed it on a sketch and extruded it into the arm to give me the holospace required for the screw & nut
Made a copy of the arm to make the other direction arm them
Implementation Process
Implementation Process
Phase 1 : Glass Face
Phase 1 : Glass Face
Exported the glass face file in form of DXF then opened it on Laser work softwere to upload the design on the machine and adjusted the suitable power (55) and speed (40) to be suitable for cuting the wood
Upload the file on the machine
Adjusted the wood sheet into it's place inside the machine then adjusted the laser tip or nozzel on the first of the begaining of the sheet
Press origin buttom to fix the start point
Choose the file on machine and make frame to make sure that your mesurments are right
Start the machine
Phase 2 : Glass Arm
Phase 2 : Glass Arm
Exported the design from fusion 360 into a STL file then used Cura software to prepare it for 3D printing using the following edits:
Printer type: Prusa i3 Mk2
Layer height: 0.3 mm
Infill: 20% with pattern grid & shell thickness 0.6
Support: Tree support touching the plate
Adhesion: Brim with width 4 mm
It took 1h 6 min on the printer and I used 13g of the red PLA filament
While using the printer I changed the filament first to the selected color then I choose the gcode file from the SD card then the machine heated up and finally printed my design
Overcoming Challenges
Overcoming Challenges
After cutting the first virsion of the face of the glass, I recognized that the face of the glass has a weakness point in the design -the marked one- so I redesigned it to become more efficient then cutted it again

After the evaluation I found that my glass arm don't fit the assignment requirements due to that i used a t-slot technice & it's an advanced technique for week 2. So, I redesigned a new arm without t-slot & with L shape

It took 35 min on the printer and I used 7g of the red PLA filament
During the 3D printing proccess the machine presented error called Thermal Runaway and it was suppose to stop working on it till the team fix it so i returned back next week and reprinted the design
