Week 2 🤸

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)

When we were tasked with designing a pair of glasses, I was immediately inspired by the ancient Egyptian proverb "العين عليها حارس"

The simple idea of a pair of glasses with the word "حارس" on it seemed perfect.

Tool Chain

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

Software

Fusion 360

For design glass parts

Ultimaker Cura.

For the Fabrication of the 3D printing file.

RDWorks

For the preparation of the laser cutting file.

Machines

The printer used for the 3D printing; the machine Prusa MK2 3D Printer.

The printer used for the laser cutting; I have used the Laser Cutter El Malky ML149 CO2 available in FLE.

Materials

The materials used in 3D printing are: 3D filament; I used RED PLA

The materials used in laser cutting: Plywood has been used.

Design/Preparation and Development/Implementation 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?

Laser Cutter part

sketch the glasses on paper so I can draw them on Fusion 360, and open Fusion 360 for desgin parts

I first drew a rectangle "2-piont rectangle" for I could visualize the internal shapes
Then I used 2-piont rectangle to draw the location of the eye
Use the circle to create a place for nose
Then I started drawing the word "حارس" using the line tool
I used "Filet" tool to In order to make the aspects more streamlined and considerate of the UX
With every step, I made sure that all the shapes were fully defined

The sketch Fully Defined with dimension

Final before extrude

After Extrude

3D part

The sketch Fully Defined with dimension

I drew the arms of the glasses so that they fit the design of the face.

I used several properties to make it appear like this:

To draw, I use "rectangle and line."
To make the shape inside the arm, I use a fillet.

Final before extrude

After Extrude

I used tool "appearance" to color and material

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?

I selected the sketch face and then chose Save As DXF

I selected the sketch face and then chose Save As mesh

and then chose format "stl" and save it

This parameters Which I used

After exporting my design as DXF,
Open RDWorks.
Import your design.
Assign colors for Cut, Scan and speed cut by selecting lines.
Upload to Machine

After finishing the design in Fusion 360, I export design as STL and open Cura to slice and setting.

Drag File on Cura it must be *.STL format and i change Properties "infill , resolution "

Then click on slice to show number of grams and time

(8 gram ) -(47 min )

Finally save to disk (extension .gcode)

I began with the 3D printer because it would take the longest to complete. I loaded thec.g-code file onto the SD card and began printing.

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)

The challenge I faced is designing "writing" word "حارس"

At first I tried using the rectangle tool to draw the word, but this was not the best way

I solved it by using the line tool

Final Project

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

I will use what I learned in the graduation project to create what I need

DXF

STL

gcode
