the assignment involved creating a unique pair of glasses for personal use, we have t make a design that blends 2D laser cutting with 3D printing. My concept is to design sunglasses .
I decided to draw my design first and then draw it on fusion 360 .
Tool chain
I use google to search for design idea .
fusion 360
to make the designs for eye lenses and arms .
Ultimaker Cura Software
Ultimaker Cura Software
3D printing software used for slicing (for the Glasses' arms )
RDworks software
create and control the operation of laser cutting .( for the lenses ).
screws and nuts to join the eye glasses parts together .
3D printing machine
3D Printing machine for printed the Glasses 'arms.
Laser Cutting machine
for cutting the Glasses' lenses.
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?

there were a lot of trials to make the design on fusion 360
Now my design is ready for laser cutting

I tried to make the glasses' arms but I had mistakes in the design so I'm trying to make another one , I'm waiting for my slot to make another one .

yes , I asked the instructors for help , and also my colleagues because I had a problem in the design of the arms .
final project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?

Now it's very easy to make my design after I learnt how to use Fusion 360.

Yes, I asked my instructor and tell me how to make the small parts in the arms for the screw it was very difficult to do it , but He helped me to finish my glasses .He gave me the way to make this part .
Development/Implementation Process
Development/Implementation Process

first I started with the frame ( laser cutting ) .
1. File Preparation:
Check File: Ensure the design file is ready for cutting.
Speed and Power Settings: Verify each cutting mode's speed and power settings.
2. Machine Setup:
Download File: Transfer the design file to the laser cutting machine.
Set Origin: Position the laser at the starting point of the material.
3. Cutting Process:
Start Process: Initiate the laser cutting process.
Monitor Process: Keep an eye on the cutting to ensure it proceeds smoothly and correctly.
2- the two arms ( 3d maker )
1. File Preparation:
Check File: Ensure the design file is correctly set up and ready for printing and ensure the slicing time is correct and the machine is PRUSA i3 MK2.
Upload File: Transfer the 3D design file onto an SD card using an SD reader connected to a flash drive due to the absence of an SD card slot on the laptop. (The G Code)
2. Machine Setup:
Insert SD Card: Place the SD card into the 3D printer.
Heat Up Machine: Preheat the printer to allow the filament material to be pulled up easily.
3. Printing Process:
Select File: Choose the design file from the SD card menu.
Start Print: Begin the printing process by pressing "OK".
Initial Check: Observe the initial layers to ensure the process proceeds correctly.
4. Post-Printing:
Remove Part: Once printing is finished, remove the magnetic bed from the machine and detach the printed part.
Clean Bed: Clean the magnetic bed and return it to the printer.
Remove Supports: Carefully remove the support structure from the design using a screwdriver.

5. Finishing Touches:
Documentation: Capture photos of each step for documentation purposes
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
In this week I knew my colleagues more and I learnt from them a lot of things , they helped me ,
I will never forgot when I was at the fab lab and I had a big problem in my 3d maker design the Instructor was very kind and helped me and we talked together I knew more information abut fab lab she was very friendly .
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?

I made some mistakes when I was designing the arms for the glasses , it was very difficult I talked with my instructor more to help me .
the big challenge that I decided to make a new design to my glasses after I failed to make the first one .
Now I'm preparing the new design and I'm sure that I can do amazing thing .
the big challenge for me to make my design fully defined it was very difficult , but I searched more and tried a lot until I did it .
the second trial
this is another design for my glasses I'm waiting to make it in the lab .
