This week assignment to make the mobile stand was very interesting to learn the very basics of fusion 360 and of simple laser cutted objects
multi-angel mobile stand as inspiration
softwares fusion 360 to make the parts of the stand and assembly
fusion 360
cardboard model
the process of the assignment was
first to make the pre-activity of designing the cardboard stand
sketching to adjust the cardboard design to make it applicable for wood/laser cutting
the hard part was using using to draw every part on its own and the connections
then assembling for the parts
export the file to STL Format
Export to dxf -I added the eyes on autocad and texts on laser works-
Sketches for modifying
final model
Fusion 360 parts of the stand
DXF
Laser works
first we import the DXF file to Laser works I added texts in laser works
prepare layers to be cut/scanned
make sure the wood board are in right place and the original point is set right
send the file to the machine
parts of the holder
before inserting T slots
after cutting it I realised it needed to be shorter :(
it look aggressive but it should scare people to LEAVE the phone on Charger :(
it's multiple angles stand
it can be used for 2 mobiles at the same time but i don't have extra one right now :D
it was a tough week with Fusion but through some questions others asked on Flipgrid/whatsapp i was able to avoid some obstacles that others discovered before me
when exploring fusion I had to pause multiple times to google some tutorials as I'm using it for the first time
mistakes that others can avoid is giving to much time to the thinking phase of the stand and less time to the drawing phase, mainly because during this phase you will figure out obstacles to solve
I think using Fusion 360 is going to help in the process
also learning to make parts and and the assembly
That the simplest objects also needs a lot of details and attention so I should always appreciate the makers :"D
The cardboard Pre-activity was very nice I needed a one a while ago and I didn't know that making it was this easy :'D
