I love my desk empty.
A very basic notebook, قلم سنون كانسون، and my laptop. Always the rubber is the poor thing getting lost. The new earbuds feel unwelcomed since they don't have a fixed place.
I needed to create something small, and with a quick🔎about "pen and pencil holder laser cut" I liked the design in the photo to the side, so I adapted my version.
Tool Chain

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Fusion: designing and fitting the joints
RDWorks: Setting the laser cutter parameters
Laser Cutter: Cut the faces off a plywood sheet
Plywood: Main construction material
Nuts and bolts: for joining the rubber compartment with the base
Design/Preparation Process

Taking approximate dimensions
Initial sketches, two ideas for the earbuds holder
Creating a component for each of the parts
Design sketches with dimensions
Design of the positive side of the enclosure and copying
Negative side, note that the T-slot is now on the opposite side of the opening
Design of earbuds holder
Base of both compartments after projecting negtive extrusions
Final assembly

Importing to RDWorks and reducing spaces to save the sheet
Setting the parameters
Fixed the sheet and set origin, double check with frame
The sheet wasn't fixed properly from the edge, had to use the cutter to remove the extra parts
Checked that things make sense before leaving the lab
Final product in use:)

These are designed as straight lines, Asmaa told me it might look like a curve because of incompatibility between RDworks versions. She told me to bring the .dxf instead and it worked!
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?

These dots exported by mistake from fusion, needed to select and have the entire circle inside the selection to delete it
We noticed that the laser went over a few lines twice, Asmaa taught me how to delete these overlaps

I will need a lot of different joints in the construction activities in my final project. Got some good practice on that:)
WOW!
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

It will never stop surprising me how random things expected to fail work the best. These squares were meant to be a completely different pattern. I was too lazy to create a point to generate it, so I picked a corner instead and voila...
Isn't this the whole story about scientists and inventors? A big coincident and the courage to mess around?
