Week 3- Pen & Mobile Holder

Now, for the slots:
1- I drew a small rectangle on the right side of the bottom sketch with dimensions of 3×10 mm positioned 3 mm from the edge.

2- Then, I drew a circle for the screw hole with a diameter of 3 mm. 

3- The center of this circle was positioned 4.5 mm from the right side and aligned with the center point I had created on the small rectangle and placed at the midpoint between the top and bottom edges of that rectangle, 50 mm from each.

4- For the second slot, I used the Mirror tool. 

5- I first drew a centerline to serve as the mirror line, passing through the circle’s center point, and then applied the mirror command.

6- Finally, I fully constrained the sketch by setting the distance between the rectangle and the circle.

I needed four of these slots, So I used the Circular Pattern tool. 

1- First, I created a center point in the rectangle to serve as the axis of the pattern (50 mm from each side). 

2- Then, I went to Create → Circular Pattern

3- Selected the objects (the two rectangles and the circle).

4- Set the center point as the Circular Point, set the quantity to 4 and applied the pattern, making sure everything was fully constrained. 

 1- I repeated the same slot pattern using the exact dimensions.

2- Then mirrored it to the opposite side. 

3- Once the mirrored pattern was in place, I extruded the shape to bring it into 3D form. 

1- I created a new component named Paws.

2- I started a sketch inside the rectangle. 

3- I began with two vertical lines, connected them with an arc, and closed the outline to form the paw shape. 

4- Next, I added the T-slot (two intersecting rectangles, 5×2.4 mm and 8×3 mm) and positioned two pins (3×10 mm) 5 mm away from the T-slot 

5- I then mirrored them to the opposite side.

6- Finally, I extruded all the shapes. 

7- Of course, the design was checked to ensure it was fully constrained 

1- I created a new component named Front Side.

2- Sketched a (100×100mm) rectangle. 

3- I added an X-slot (3×50mm, covering half the edge) positioned 3mm from the edge.

4- Then I mirrored it to the opposite side. 

5- I drew a T-slot at the bottom center of the rectangle, using the same dimensions as before (two intersecting rectangles: 5×2.4mm and 8×3mm).

6- Then I placed two pins (3×10 mm) 5mm from the T-slot. 

7- Make Sure The sketch was fully constrained 

8- Then I Extrude it.

9- I duplicated the Front Side component to create the Back Side component. 

1- For the Right Side component, I followed the same steps as the Front Side. 

2- with the only difference being that the X-slot was positioned in the opposite direction, starting from the bottom instead of the top. 

3- I then duplicated this component to create the Left Side. 

For the sticky notes' holder.

1- I edited the bottom sketch by adding a (100×90mm) rectangle.

2- I fully constrained it by making it coincident with the first rectangle.

3- Then I Extrude it in 3mm.

All the pieces I created were not connected to each other, so I added joints, connecting all sides to the grounded bottom. 

1- I added the bracket I had made earlier by inserting it into the design. 

2- Breaking the link so I could make changes without affecting the original version. 

3- Then, I edited the bracket sketch to set its angle to 70 degrees. 

4- After that, I edited the bottom sketch again to add a 3mm diameter hole for connecting the bracket. 

5- I fully constrained the hole by setting its position 8mm from the top and 45 mm from both the right and left sides.

6- Next, I edited the extrusion to create the hole.

7- Then I made joints to connect the bracket and the bottom. 

8- At this stage, the bracket needed repositioning, so I rotated it to fit into the correct position.

1- I started a new component and created a sketch on the front side of the bracket. 

2- I drew a (70×80mm) rectangle.

3- I extruded it (3mm)

4- Then I created a joint between this component and the bracket.

1- I started a new component and created a sketch on top of the bottom part. 

2- I drew a (3×80mm) rectangle and extruded it to (15mm).

3- Then, I projected the sketch to create the T-slot and extruded it.

4- Next, in the bottom sketch, I drew two rectangles and a circle, fully constrained them.

5- I extruded the Bottom again. 

6- Finally, I created joints to connect the support to the bottom.

The sticky notes back

1- I used the same paw sketch.

2- I selected it.

3- copied

4- pasted

5- Then I made an extrude cut. 

1- I will apply what I learned by always planning my steps in advance.

2- Researching thoroughly before starting. 

3- Never hesitating to ask about anything I don’t understand. These habits will help me work more efficiently and avoid unnecessary mistakes during the final project.

Designing under pressure 😅 unforgettable! 
This was the most special (and challenging) part for me. 

I usually prefer designing in a quiet environment with no strict time limits. But this week, like every week 😂 every activity had to be completed within a short timeframe, in a team, and in a lively (sometimes noisy) atmosphere😂. It pushed me out of my comfort zone, tested my focus, and improved my teamwork skills. 🙈

Overall, I learned so much from the challenges, and they made the process even more rewarding.
