This week we should design a pen & pencil holder on fusion 360 using (laser cutter),and apply different connections like t-slot
The inspiration :I really want pen holder because I have alooooooot of pens & colors & pencils
This design is suitable

base sketch using projections
T-slot dimensions
Fusion 360
1-Start with brainstorming and detecting the dimensions required for the design
2-Draw the sides of the holder ,in my design I drew side A & side c & back side
3- Use T-slots connections & cross connections
4- Copy the similar sides
5-Joint the sides together
6-Create a sketch on the bottom plan to make the base
7-project the connection components
8-Joit the holder , and choose a material for it
9-save the parts as DXF for laser cutter
10-The dimensions 20*20*12 cm
Laser cad
* import the file in laser cad
* Edit dimensions & line colors & speed & power
*The parameters are : -speed (25) -cut
-power(65)-cut
*I added an Islamic pattern to two sides
* The pattern used is from 3.axis site

Sheet 1 fabrication
Sheet 1
Sheet 2 fabrication
Laser cad
* Edit dimensions & line colors & speed & power
*The parameters are : -speed (25) -cut
-power(65)-cut
-I export two files
(first for 4 pieces without pattern , the total dimension 27*46 cm)
(second for 2 pieces , they fabricated in half sheet)
Laser cutter machine
-put the sheet and make sure its flat on the surface
-set the orgin & Box & laser (to make sure about the shape area
-Start 🤩
Joining
-collect the sides together with the taps & X-slots
-put the screw & nuts for the T-slots using screw driver
*Start to use the holder in your favorite way , I put my pens & markers & color pallets & small sketches

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?

The problem:
-The dimensions of some connections are very hard to be calculated (to be accurate and joint with the other sides )
The reason :
-There are many T-slot & x-slot connections , and when I start a new component i have to calculate the dimensions again
The solution:
-I learned to use the projection, so I project the taps and detect the screw &nut place (for sketching the bottom I started sketch on the bottom of sides to project the taps)

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?
* In the process of designing the prototype, l will use the software of Fusion 360 to design the suitable prototype for my project
* Knew about types of connections (T-slot & bracket & captive nut ), I will need these connections to make the prototype more stable& strong
* In prototype finishing I will need (laser cutter )

This week we had an offline session in the maker diploma fab lab
-The session is about reuse& recycle
-I love this mirror with pop colors ,and surprised that it is made from the waste of plastics
- The waste plastic melted and transform to sheets that we can use
