This week's idea is to apply everything you learned on your own on Fusion Program, so you can apply it to your final project
My idea for this week wasn't clear, so I searched a lot until I found an idea that fit the task requirements and I also liked it because it had three places, one for pens, one for notes, and one for paper.
And I will make some modifications to it

I started drawing sketches for each side, starting with the bottom, then I started drawing the other sides and making sure that each sketch I drew was fully defined.
After making sure that all the sketches were fully defined, I started extruding them 3mm to match the thickness of the wood sheets.
After I extruded the sketches, I had the elements of the pen holder , so i grounded the bottom so it would be easy to connect the rest of the elements to it, then I started connecting the elements to it so that the shape of the pen holder gradually began to appear.
After I made sure that the pieces were connected correctly and that the shape matched what I wanted, I started exporting the sketches in dfx format, then I started importing the files to LaserCAD, to prepare them for cutting on the laser machine.
After that I put a file for a pattern that I had downloaded because it was very difficult to make it myself on Fusion.
I selected all the pieces to be cut and chose the power at 65 and the speed at 10, and I chose the pattern to be speed cut. and set the power at 40 and the speed at 300

Pen holderFor the laser machine, I transferred my file to the device connected to the printer and made sure that it was still the same. I checked the focus and fixed the wood sheet, then I set the origin point and pressed the Box button to see the area that I would print on, then I closed the printer cover and made it start and I kept watching it to make sure that there were no problems with printing.
And here is my cool pen holder

Working with the team members to finish the lantern task helped me a lot when working on my project. I learned some things that helped me finish the project faster and more accurately than before.

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?

After I connected three pieces to the bottom, when I tried to connect the fourth piece, I encountered this problem, which is that you cannot connect a piece to another piece unless you make it grounded. When I tried to solve this problem by trying to connect the fourth piece to the bottom like the rest of the pieces, I found that it becomes faded with the fourth piece. The reason for this problem is that the fourth piece is linked to the bottom when I make a new component. I solved the problem by deleting the component I created and created another one that is not linked to any other component. I drew the sketch again and extracted it, then I tried to connect it and it worked.
I had a problem visualizing the final shape and dimensions of the pen holder. I solved this problem by drawing the shape on paper first before starting to sketch it on Fusion. I always suggest that you draw what you want on paper. It will help you visualize the shape and think about where to start.

What I learned this week from learning to design on Fusion 360 yourself and connecting two pieces together to make a shape with multiple sides, the experience I gained from this week will help me in my final project when making the project body
WOW!
WOW!

The most amazing thing this week is this lamp we designed. It helped me a lot when doing this week's task.

The other thing I wanted to do this week was this stand but it didn't fit the task requirements, so I just took a part of it and applied it to my project.
