This week I shall Design a model of a pen and pencil holder Using Fusion 360 for design so that it consists of multiple 2.5D parts (at least three) and assemble them using proper joints or Fabricate the 2.5D parts using Laser Cutting. the pen and pencil holder should contain at least 2 compartments to hold different stationary items (For example, a compartment for pens and the other for sticky notes or paper clips).
I got the my idea from Amazon search but i added some assembly ideas as T-slots and screw holes.
pen holder
1- The preparation process started to create sketch on paper using pensile then searching about dimensions on google then open fusion 360 to create sketch for the design of a pen and pencil holder.
2- I used fusion 360 tools to create the components for each side of the object of a pen and pencil holder by using assembly tools and do joining for all bodies to be fully defined with dimensions. then I used project tool to draw the base side on the all other sides to be fit with all slots.
3- I exported it with the DXF file to prepare for cutting process.
Laser cutter:-
1) Make sure that the file printing is mine.
2) Put plywood sheet.
3) Put the magical tool that holds my sheet.
4) Adjust the focal length.
5) Choose the place to print by using arrows.
6) Make it the origin point.
7) Click on "Box" to detect the size.
8) Click on "start" to cut.
I worked on slot 11mm, but the screw was too big—it was supposed to be 13mm. I solved this issue by using a 4mm screw instead. However, the design should have been made for either 13mm or 8mm screws.
The slots after cutting wasn't open enough with mm or micrometers maybe its the machine quality and solve it by using tool called sanding file or nail file
