Ideation

Tell us about your assignment's idea for this week. Why do you care about this idea? What inspired you? (Please include images or links to sources of inspiration)

assembled Final real stand

fusion render for the phone stand model

some sketches

This week’s assignment was to create our own phone holder, that consists of at least two parts 2.5D. i wanted it to be more than a phone holder so i added a place in the back for pen and tools

Tool Chain

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?

We used fusion 360 which is a software to draw and design cad files and previewing assembled designs.

my shape was made of 5 parts assembled with t slots with guides

will be made of plywood 3mm thickness and fastened with 6 screws and nuts

Title of Media

Design/Preparation Process

Explain the design and/or preparation process of your assignment. How did you use the tool or software to design and/or prepare your assignment before fabrication/implementation?

first prototype

i got the idea from our online make session we made with cardboard i refined it with the new tools i learned through the week firstly

Development/Implementation Process

Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?

i had the idea so i did some sketches to obtain scale to my phone and get more dimension to start the drawing phase

i then i started the design in fusion 360 with a fully defined sketches

i drew the sides and the walls and the ground shapes each separately in its own sketch

Then assembled it to make sure of parts correctly preview
after that i exported all parts sketches to .dxf files,
i added artwork for engraving on adobe illustrator but you can skip it,
next step will be preparing file for LaserWork and assembling parts together

phew ...... ... fully defined

all parts and walls and grounds

assembled preview on fusion

i imported the file into LaserWork and re arranged items according to my sheet size to not exceed its Hight and i set the cutting and engraving

CUT (black color) power to 68 and speed to 200.

SCAN/engraving (RED Color) power to 30 and speed to 300.

those numbers can be changed slightly according to tube age and from a machine to another

i previewed the file and made sure everything is fine

then downloaded the file with a new name to the machine

on the machine i placed the wooden sheet in place i setted the origin of the head in X and Y to 0 and made a test preview to make sure my design is within the sheet placed

after that i re focused the laser through the Z axis with the side switch and a piece of a plexiglass 6mm thickness

then i started the file to cut

Arranging partsand setting engraving (SCAN) and Cutting, Power and Speedon LaserWork

unfortunately engraving power was too low so the engraving part was not visible

so we re engraved separately on the same part again with same setting, using the outline of the part as a reference .

re engraving cause power was too low in the first time

first engrave was not visible enough

after some sanding

burned edges from laser cutting

Community of Learning

Did you ask for feedback? What are the ideas that others have contributed or suggested? What was someone else’s idea that you built upon? How did you help your peers? How did your peers help you?

sheriff our college shared with us how to but an image as a reference image for sketching it was so helpful , i tried to help but im still learning so i don't think i can,

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?

i paused many times to learn more about constrains in fusion 360 , i did the mistake of adding many constrains and my laptop did not like it much :s ,

and fully defined sketches where a headache to me and my pc

my advice try to be specific in your measurements and think more about them

phew ...... ... fully defined

Final Project

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?

sample

i can use it in my project's Enclosure box to add custom screen window or buttons and other key features that keep wires away of hand

WOW!

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

joints and movable things was cool and fun

texture was cool i discovered a free library in fusion itself niceee :D

Weekly Digest [OPTIONAL]

Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: in the Hands-on activity, tutorial examples, exercises, or any other cool mini-project that you tried out aside from the assignment.
