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.

Sketched the front part of the holder with one t-slot to be attached to the bottom and x-slot to be attached to the sides and extruded 3mm.
Sketched the outer side of the holder with opposite x-slot and made copy for the other side and extruded 3mm.
Sketched inner side with tabs to be attached to the front part and made copy of it then extruded 3mm.
Sketched the small middle part and made tabs in it to be attached to the bottom and the sides.
Sketched the back with one t-slot and x-slots to be attached to the sides.
Sketched the bottom with two t-slots to be attached to the sides.

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 = 15, speed = 330
blue for speed cut: power = 15, speed = 350
4- mirror the side 1
5- find out what is the perfect design for saving sheet

How I used it?
1- Make sure that the file you're printing is yours.
2- Put your plywood sheet and make sure it stable
3- try to put the stables in the corner to save the sheet
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
Assemble
1- the nut fit the holes
2- assemble the sides and the bottom with screw NOTE : make sure the sides in the right position
3- use the rubbery hammer if needed
assemble sides with bottom

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?

When I designed the base, I faced a problem: how could I measure the total base size? So instead of measuring it, I used the project.
When I import the RLD file into Laser Work, the shape of the organizer changes, so I have to import the DXF file.
When I assembled the base with the corners, I changed the sides with each other, so I have to get them off and assemble them in the right way.
When I tried to assemble it, the nut didn't fit the hole because I didn't put it in the right angle.
