Do you ever need a pen holder, but also a place to keep your notes so they’re easy to access? For this project, I chose to make a simple pen and notes holder.

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
For Digital Design
Software Used: Fusion 360
I started by designing in Fusion 360, then exported the DXF files to RDWorks and STL files to ultimaker Cura
For Laser Cutting
Software Used: RDWorks
Printer Model: El Malky ML149 CO₂ Laser Cutter
Material Used: 3mm Plywood
I used RDWorks to modify the dxf file sending file to El Malky Laser Cutter and using 3mm Plywood for the materia.
Design/Preparation Process
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?

This time, I decided to take my own advice and sketch first before designing in Fusion 360.
I started by making a rough sketch, cutting it out, and putting the paper pieces together to see how it would look.
Then I used a ruler to measure each part and drew detailed dimensions on the paper so I could use them while designing in Fusion 360.
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 started by making face A with its dimensions—it had 1 T-slot and 2 X-slots—then I extruded it. I copied it, but this time I used Paste New, because if I just pasted it normally, modifying one would change both.
Then I started working on face B using the same sequence and also duplicated it. The last side I made only once, since it didn’t need duplication.
For the bottom, I used projection to place the opening in exactly the right spot. Finally, I joined all the parts together and saved each face as a DXF file.
Arranging the parts in RDWorks so they take up the least space.

Overcoming Challenges
Overcoming Challenges
When you got stuck, what/who did you turn to? At what point did you have to pause to research or learn more before moving on? What are some mistakes, pitfalls, or challenges that others can avoid if they were doing this assignment?

Bottom part
After desining extruding fabricating, and assembling them together i recognized that were no circles holes for the nail head, i decieded to re do it from the design again,fabricating and assembling to give the full picture
if i have any advise to after finish design just take some rest and then take a fast last look before saving it as DXF to check these small things so you can modify if needed without wasting materials or any thing
