Pen & Pencile Holder!

This week we've to design a pen & pencile holder.
I love the hexagonal shape of "Bee cell pattern" so, I decided to make my pen holder like it.

Tool Chain

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

machine:

3D printer "prusa"

software:

-Fusion 360

-Ultimaker Cura (4.10.0)

Materials:

-PLA filament to print the pen holder by 3D printer.

3D printer "prusa"

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 step: Choosing "xy" plan to draw on it.

then sketch "Hexagonal shape" by using inscribed polygon tool then repeated it by using circular pattern.

second step:

By using sweep feature i made the 3D hexagonal with 15 mm height then shell it.

Third step:

To sketch the base i've to make an offset plan to draw on it by using "construct"

Fourth step:

connecting betweetn the upper plan and the lower plan by using " Loft" to make the body of the base.

Fifth step:

Combined the two bodies and painted it.

then saved the model in *.STL format and file.

Development/Implementation Process

preparing the file before going to the fablab:

After saving the file in *.STL format.

then i opened the file in cura 4.10.0 software

then, I modified the settings to:

-the machine is prusa i3 MK2.

-profile is 0.2 with no supports and infill 10%

- temperature is 215.

-Filament is pla.

Then, making the slice step to check out the slicing process (1 hour and 20 min) 12g and then saved the file into .GCODE.

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?

yep, My friends ( doaa and sahar) sugessted ideas to help me to achieve the full requirements.

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've a proplem in the Fidget. This part "Hook" can't be extruded

i know later that the curve is opened so it can't be extruded.

Ahmed and Amany helped me.

Final Project

WOW!

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