Salma's Pen & Pensile Holder!
I love seeing the things I admire around me. I did design through the past weeks' things related to chemistry and now I have decided to design this!
A holder that shaped like BB-8 (my favorite character from star wars)

I used Fusion 360 to design my BB-8 pen & pencil holder and make stl file.

I'm thinking of using the blue PLA filament to print the holder by 3D printer.

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 Step: Picking The plane to draw in it.
Since I was going to use the revolve tool so I chose one of the wall planes zy plane.
1- I drew a circle with a diameter of 100mm then I passed a line in the middle of the circle and at the end and top of it so it can have a base to stand on and the upper to make it able to loft.
2- I select the previous shape I selected and revolve it around the z-axis.
Second Step: Make the base sphere.
Third Step: Make the upper sphere.
1- I used the offset plane tool to move xy plane to a higher distance.
2- I added a new sketch to the offset plane and draw a circle with 43.974mm diameter. Then I used the loft tool to connect this circle with the body I created at step 2. And I chose to be curvey.
5- It's time to make a cavity inside it! I made a hole on the upper sphere (the small one) then another hole at the second sphere (wider one).
6- To shape more like BB-8, I made two cuts at the the upper sphere.
Forth Step: Final features.
Development/Implementation Process
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?
Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?
1- I saved the 3D model from Fusion 360 as stl file, then I opened it in Ultimaker Cura (4.10.0) and chose the appropriate orientation, and used the minimum support as I can.
2- The file has been selected from the SD card.
3- The temperature has been checked. The operation starts by pressing enter.
4- The support layer has been removed using the pliers.

When I presented my idea to the instructor, he guides me to use the offset plane to draw the upper sphere.
I got great help from my colleague Esraa A. Ismail this week in the implementation process so great thanks to her. She took care of the whole process since I couldn't come on time. I truly appreciate her help.
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?

I faced a couple of challenges. First, I was thinking of how to make a base for the sphere so the holder can stand on a flat surface like a table. I tried the first sweep tool but the overall feature was more like a vase than a holder. Then I tried the revolve after watching the tutorials and it worked!
Second, I drew the two spheres by revolving tool at first but when I re-read the requirements of the assignment, I realized that I have to use two different 3D features so, I made the lower sphere by revolving and the upper one by loft.
I made here the two spheres by revolve.
The upper sphere is made by loft, and the lower one by revolve.

My final project includes 3D printed parts, so I got an idea of how I can use the 3D tools to design the object I want.
WOW!
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

I really enjoyed using the design history bar! I had to try several kinds of features after I finished my design so instead of re-sketching the design or delete it, I used the design history to re-edit as I want and if it did work I can easily remove the steps I want! It really made Fusion 360 easier.
