3D Inspiration
3D Inspiration
Stitch has always been my favorite cartoon character, full of chaos and charm. As a 3D printing enthusiast, I decided to bring him to life with my printer. This project combines my love for animation and hands-on making into one fun and personal creation.
Wolf coaster
Wolf coaster
For the laser I wanted to make a mini coaster with a wolf design graved on it .This coaster features a striking wolf design, symbolizing strength and independence. I created it using a laser cutter, allowing for precise and detailed cuts. It's not just a functional item—it’s also a piece of art inspired by nature.

Preparation 3D File process:
Preparation 3D File process:
i searched on "thingiverse.com", and Downloaded the design As A "Stl" format.
I imported the file into "UltiMaker cura" Sofware.
i sliced the 3d model at proper parameter values: With support (Touching Buildplate), Adhesion (Brim) and adjust the infill (10%), Layer Hight (0.2m)
Then i exported the file as "g_code" Format.
Finally i copied the file to "USD Card's machine".
Importing The file & Adjust The print Setting
Making sure that the time and grams are suitable for the requirements
Exporting the file as "g_code" Format.
Preparation file process:
Preparation file process:
i searched on 3axis.com, and Downloaded the Coaster design As A "Dxf" format.
I imported the file into "RDworks" Sofware.
I set the right parameters to each line and adjust the speed and power.
Then i exported the file as "Ai" Format.
Finally i sent the file to the machine
First before importing my design, I created a ligne with 80 mm diameter
Then I exported my design on the software
After importing the design , I adjusted the Size, I made 60mm width and 60mm Hight
Then I assembled together both of them. So That the design look like a coaster
Cutting mode
Cutting mode
I chose cutting mode for the cercle with 40 speed and 45 power
Speed cut mode
Speed cut mode
I made with speed cut my design with 300 speed and 25 power

That's the look for my final design before cutting with laser
Development/Implementation Process
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?

Laser-Cutting process:
Laser-Cutting process:
copy your file as "Al" format to the machine and select it .
Put the plywood sheet.
make sure that the plywood sheet is not warped ( and if it's you can hold it with a holder and stuck it to the machine) .
Adjust the focal length.
Choose the place you want to Cut by.
set the origin .
Click on "Frame" to detect the size and make sure that the design fits.
Click on "start" to cut
3D-Printing process:
3D-Printing process:
I put my file As "g.code" on the printer's "SD Card" .
I made sure the Build Plate is clear .
Then I pre-heat the nozzle
I changed the filaments to a blue Pla Filament
make sure the filament is pointed
before starting, I made sure that the filment is not tangled or stucked to each other
select my file on the printer.
And Finaly I started to print my design

The Day that I was in the lab for the fabrication of my assignment, the fab-lab specialist taught me to cut the filament before inserting the extruder in a certain way so that the filament go through the extruder easily.

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?

When I was executing the laser cut process, I forgot to press the origine point after moving the laser nozzle to the space that I wanted to cut my wood, so I started and then it cut somewhere else, but luckily that fab specialist was there to stop the process and then we reviewed together the steps.

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
The skills and Knowledge that I've acquired from this week will be very helpful for my final project . For exemple the laser cut machine will help me to make my encloser of the electronics component that I will use and the 3D printing will help me to make some object or solide to add my project as decoration.
WOW!
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

Me and my group we made a tiny T-Rex with Zero infill😂
First, we thought that making inside empty will ruine the design, but it came out very solide and nice, so I guess because it's tiny design😂.
