Week # 1 - Journal

softwares used were prusa slicer to prepare the 3d printed objects and

laserwork to prepare the logo file for the 3d printer

Machines this week we used 3d printer and laser cutter

the process of the assignment was

• first to choose the design you like from thingivers

• prepare the file using the prusa slicer to make sure its size and the time it will take to be printed are good

• prepare the logo file to be cut with laser works and make sure which layers to be cut and which are scanned

in fabrication process for the logo we had to make sure that the wood board is in the right place and setting the origin point in the right place

and make sure layers in laser works are set to cut or scan

for the 3d printing process we have to make sure that all the settings in prusa slicer are right for the machine and the time and weight for the object are okay then we copy the file to SD Card for the machine

i learned hoe to preheat the Printer to change the PLA Color and hoe log the new material

my peers helped me in a very indirect way

while assembling the game kit I didn't know that the screen should have light while working :'D I thought it was just made this way till some asked about the same problem because of a missing connection

this weeks task was simple was no hard challenges the only mistake that others can avoid is missing the lab visit

and while assembling the kit it was simple task -Beside the LCD Problem I didn't know it exists :'D-

how 3D printing is done

when I first read about 3D printers I thought it was closer to Magic but now i understand the science behind it
