Ugh, wearing glasses in the rain is the worst! Every time I step outside, the rain starts pouring down and my lenses get all fogged up or covered in water droplets. It's so frustrating because I can barely see anything. I try to wipe them off, but it never lasts long before more water gathers.
Okay, so I’ve come up with this amazing new pair of glasses that have a built-in umbrella! Yeah, you heard that right—an umbrella for your glasses. It’s a game-changer. So, the frame has a tiny, retractable umbrella that pops up when it starts raining

Laser Cut Project
Laser Cut Project
Using "Laser Work" software, and the Laser-Cut machine to print the cup coaster on a 3mm plywood sheet.
Software:
RD works is a software used for adjusting the laser cutter machines and the 2D designs.
Machines:
El Malky laser cutter machine
Materials:
plywood which is easy to cut and durable.
Laser-Cut Machine (El Malky laser cutter )
3D-Printing Project
3D-Printing Project
Software:
Ultimaker cura: this software convert 3D models into printable instructions for 3D printer as it translate the model into G-code which is the 3D printer language. It is also easy to use for beginners and offers predefined profiles for different materials and print qualities.
Machines:
PRUSA
Materials:
PLA: it is the most common material and made from organic materials, easy to print with as it doesn't need special environment and available in many colors.

Frame:
1- sketched the glasses with the medium size dimensions.
2- made sure that the sketch was fully defined.
3- Made sure that the hand(umbrella) part was attached to the glasses frame.
4- Extruded the sketch into 3mm for laser cut.
Side
1- sketched the glasses temple with the medium size dimensions.
2- made sure that the sketch was fully defined and used another plane to sketch the L-shape with hand for the screw.
and made sure that the l shape will printed without missing parts
3- Extruded the sketch and used fillets.
4- Imported the design on Cura and used mirroring and flipped it to make two copies of it.
5- No support, adding adhesion and the layer height was 0.2mm, infill 20% and temperature 207.

Laser Cut Project
Laser Cut Project
1- open it on RD works v8
2- import the file
3- Ensure cut lines and engraving lines are properly set
- Parameters:
Black for cutting: power = 45, speed = 40
Red for scanning: power = 25, speed = 250
blue for speed cut: power = 25, speed = 250

3D-Printing Project
1- import it into cura
2-adheasion
3-Rotate
4-profile 0.2 - infill 20
5- After setting the parameters it took only 1hr and 10 grams then exported the file into g.code.

How I used it?
1- Make sure that the file you're printing is yours.
3- Put your plywood sheet and make sure it stable
4- Adjust the focal length.
5- Choose the place you want to print by using arrows.
6- Make it the origin point.
7- Click on "frame" to detect the size and start
8- trick (put the fix in the border to save space
9-spray

How I used it?
1-Made sure that the design parameters was set properly.
2-Uploaded the g,code file of the 3D design in the SD card that is used in the machine.
3-Opened the file on Prusa 3D printer.
4-Getting the printer ready by heating its bed at 60degrees Celsius and nozzle at 215 degrees Celsius.
5-Installed the filament

We had to open the printer door and adjust the nozzle and the heat source since the 3D printing was overheating and destroying the first layer.
