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)

IDEA

Come on, it is a strange shape for parties, and that their shape is strange and sweet

I chose it because it is strange, and in your reception it remains sweet or not, so I wanted to take this rice and it will be a party glasses

Tool Chain

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

for software

laserwork setting the counters to cut

for setting the counters to print.

To design all shapes that will be cut with laser or printed

for machines

laser cutter

3D Printer

Materials

I used wood for the frame of the glasses, and I printed it for the shields, because this is one of the requirements for assignment

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?

Glasses shields

Design the Arms and export as (stl)
Open UltiMaker-Cura software and import (stl)
start to adjust model parameter values for:

layer height : using 0.16mm
infill : using 50%
4.slice the model to get time and weight for model

time :75min
weight : 8g

save the file to desk to (g.code) format to be prepared for 3D printing
The Process

First, I took the measurements from a real glasses , then I started designing the shape of the arms as 2D sketch .

Then I made an extrusion and wrote the things I wanted on the arm and made it hollow, then I made a place to install the nail and made an extrusion and made a hole for the nail, then I used fillet to make curved edges

Glasses frame

The Steps ......

Design the frame as fully defined and export file as (dxf)
Open LaserWork software and import (dxf) file
Start to select lines and coloring it related to color function which related to design :-

black : for cutting
blue : for speed cut
red : for scanning

Put numbers for these colors

black : 20mm/s for speed - 75% for power
blue : 300mm/s for speed - 30% for power

export the file to (plt) format to be prepared for laser cutting
The Process

First, after I took the measurements from the real glasses, I made a 2D design and made it fully defined. Then I made an extrusion of the design and gave it a wooden appearance to make it look like its final shape.

The Process

I started designing the glasses arms according to the appropriate sizes and comfortable to use.

I started designing the outer frame of the glasses according to the measurements I took from the real glasses.

After making the design fully defined, I exported the design and gave it the color it would be printed in.

After doing the design and making it fully defined, I extracted the design.

Here I designed the part that connects the arm to the front frame of the glasses.

After making the shape, I made an extrusion for it and drew a place for the nail according to the size of the nail that will be used and made an extrusion cut.

The last thing I gave the frame was a wooden look to make it look like the real thing.

After all these operations, I uploaded the file as dxf and downloaded it to the laser program, gave it the appropriate colors and power, and manufactured it.

Here I have created a Felt command to make the edges smooth and harmless to the user.

Finally I wrote a cute phrase to give the glasses some style and make them more party friendly.

After all these operations, I uploaded the file as stl and downloaded it to the printing program, gave it the necessary settings, and then printed it.

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?

SUPER GLASSES

Glasses arms

IN Glasses Arms After downloading the file, I set the size and determined the amount of the material, its type infill , the thickness of the layers, and the thickness of the same, then we download it to the printer and start in the character of the model, and the time and the material of the crisis

Glasses frame

In the Glasses Frame , after we create the design on the laser work and determine the colors, power and speed, we start uploading the file to the machine and start the steps by setting the sheet on the machine. After that, we determine the center point. After that, we adjust the focus. After that, we set the frame for the design. After that, we turn on the machine and let it cut the wood.

Community of Learning

Did you ask for feedback? What are the ideas that others have contributed or suggested? What was someone else’s idea that you built upon? How did you help your peers? How did your peers help you?

I think I didn't need feedback from any of my colleagues because the design was very special to me and I didn't want to change anything about it.

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?

Problem

I had the same problem the first week, even though I changed the entire chip, but the power did not cut the board

Key

It is that I do a test for the Power before use to avoid any waste or damage to the wood again

Final Project

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

it will help me in designing ma project as i want and faprecate it in the right way with no wast in my time and materials

WOW!

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

One of the best things that I learned is that I have the ability to design anything that I want and I manufacture and I have the ability to deal with the laser machine and the printing machine well.
