Title of Media
in this week we are asked to prepare 2 model 1 for 3D printing and other for Lasser cutter
I chose bookmark for 3D printing that had appearance like pendent of the Witcher because it is one of my favorite games
key chain that take shape of penguin i just like its shape and the dog key chain that we made inspired me to do something like it
Tool Chain
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
ultimaker cura for 3D printing because i can download stl files on it , it can produce G code can show numbers of layer and if it need support and work on all 3D printing machine
and Laser CAD as software to prepare 2D files
machines that we use is 3D printing FDM ( creality - ender-3/ender-3 v2) used PLA for 3D printing
Lasser cutter elmaliky : ply wood 3mm

for 3D printing
i chose a file with a suitable format for software from thingiverse site and then prepare the files in 3D printing using ultimaker cura i adjust size of object and adjust the orientation to put it on the flat surface to reduce support adjusting parameters
scale : this object was 50 % and this reduce time printing and amount of PA
layer high( .2) : it is good for provides a balance between detail and print time
infill 10% cubic : this percentage of infill is given the demand strength of the object
add adhesion brim type : to make the object more stable on the bed and reduce the failure chances
open the support because there is some parts of the file that is can be ruine such as mouth
then make slice to it to see how much time and amount of the PLA filament
it take 50 minutes to be done then export the file as G code on memory card
laser CNC
i download dfx file from 3 axis site then import it to laser cut software .I prepare the file by selecting where I want to cut or speed cut or engrive and chose a different color for each order
black for cutting : outer circle made it black to cut it and adjust the parameters of speed and power according to the machine speed 10 / power 65
blue for speed cutting : i choice inner circle and body as speed cut it draw linens as in dfx file speed 100 / power 50
Red for engrave : penguin beak engrave speed 300/ power 50
After finishing, I export the file in DFX format to laptop and then download it to the machine through the download button and then I specify the place where the Machin can start by pressing the origin button and check if the area is suitable by pressing the square button

3D printing
I search for a model design to fabricate it for 3D printing i searched in thingivers and choice book mark for it then i download it on ultimaker cura
preparation of file
choice orientation for printing on the flat surface of object
infill 10% cubic
support structure : Touching Buildplate
adhesion brim
exporting and importing file
export it from laptop to G code beside the name i write how many grams it will take and time
put it on memory card and put it in the machine and choice the file by analog and start to print it .
During printing
i monitoring printing until it finished and after it finished i remove support and brim
laser cutting
i used 3 axis site to choice a file but it has to be DFX
preparation
download it on laser cad software then select what has to be cut and what speed cut or engrave by colors ( black / blue / red ) in order
export it to the machine
the specialist check it then export it as DFX to machine then put the ply wood sheet and stabilize it
put an origin point / make sure about the space the machine will work in by press box button then start machine
After finishing, wait one minute for the smoke to be sucked out.

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?

if i face any problem i can ask help from my instructor or specialist
our instructor asked us to prepare a t rex model in 15 minuets and fabricate it in 15 minutes but we didn't know how to do it so we asked help from instructor, and they tell us that if we change parameters, we can change time
during my first 3D Printing ( t-rex) we made a mistake that we did not make sure that object was adhesive to the bed enough and this and because of this mistake while printer working object move from the bed that ruined it and t-rex lost his head 🥲 so be careful about the base that contact with bed and make sure it is enough to make object stable on the bed during printing by using brim
second one the Machin belt was not taught enough so when it cut to make circle it goes to close to the edge
another problem that i face during assignment is the software we use for CNC work with dfx and the heart shape that I choice is cdr, so I have to convert it and when I try it on too many sites it did not work as i want so i use another software Inkscape then from it I convert it to dfx

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
Title of Media
I know how to use software to apply my project and know how to adjust parameters to be suitable if it is infill or support and the avoid any mistake we made in session
The presence of support makes things feel worse and can be difficult to remove in some things. so i have to know when to use support
WOW!
WOW!
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?
how to use laser cutter and prepare the object before fabricate and made cool things such as key chain we made during session and of course I will not forget the t-rex when we know that his head did not complete during printing 😂

we start the session with activity that we act as part of machines and other groups try to guess what is these machine
then we start to prepare object to fabricate in 15 minutes one of it is this dog key chain
i made a dog key chain by using CNC. I prepare it on laser CAD software and choice where to use cut or engrave or speed cut by selecting specific color for each order, but I face problem during manufacture it but it this mistake was not from our design it was from the machine the blet was not taught enough that make the circle we made to close to the edge
