3D PRUSA printing machine
machines:
I used laser cutting machine for single piece model
and Prusa i3 MK2S machine.
software:
I used ultimaker cura 4.10
laser works softwares.
Materials:
plywood for laser cutting machine (3mm)
PLA white filament material (2mm)
Ultimaker Cura software
For laser cutting machine
I used 3-axis to choose a design to make it. then downloaded it in a dxf file so the machine can read it.
then i imported this dxf file to a laserWork software.
finally, preparing the file by the software before sending it to the machine.
I differentiate each line of the file as:
Red lines: cutting with high speed (300) and power of 25.
Balck lines: cutting with low speed (25) and power of 65.
For 3D printing
I downloaded a STL file from thingverse named it "sarah"
Then I modified the setting of the ultimaker Cura 4.10 program, then i make a slice step to chek the slicing process and saved the file into GCODE
No suppprts
20% infill
Temp is 215
Laser cutting
I turned on the laser cutting machine and made sure that the switches arr on.
downloading the file into the laser cutting machine after i named it.
putting the plywood sheet in the workspace area and made sure by the lens that the distance from the nozzle and the sheet is suitable.
I made sure that the nozzle starts from the origin.
choosing the file name and press work frame to know the working area and finally, press start.
3D printer
I dowload the file into SD card of the macine, then checking the temp, choosing the file from the SD card and pressing enter to start.

I asked my friends to give me feedback about my design.
when I've finished, I showed my coaster to my friends in lab, they liked it
I helped shymaa to know how to download the DXF file into the laser cutting machine.
I couldn't deal with cura so i asked Amany to help me.
she helped me in preparing the stl file in cura and choosing the proper parameters value such as Temp, infill.

I'll use the laser cutting machine and 3D printer in my final project.
This is the first time dealing with 3D printer and making 3D printing models!
