3D pen holder
I used Autodesk Fusion 360 to design my 3D pen holder I also used Prusa slicer to slice my model and be able to print it by 3D printing machine in the next week.
I used Fusion 360 to design the pen holder.
first, I create sketch and drew a hexagon then I extruded it to be the base of the holder.
then, I drew a circle and a line in the middle to trim the half of the circle. then I used revolve feature to make a hemisphere. after that I create an offset sketch to draw hexagon and duplicate it by use circular pattern feature. then I used loft feature to drag the hexagons to the hemisphere. and, finally I used shell feature. to export the file to the slicer I saved it as stl file.
in the prusa slicer I modified the scale to decrease the time of printing as well as prusa transform the file into G code to be printed later.
I used prusa slicer to adjust the printing factors then transfer it into Gcode for the machine.
the weight: 10 gm.
the time of printing: 1h and 10 min
pla yellow filament.
Then, I put the SD card into the 3D printer then preheated , unloaded the previous filament and put the new filament and loaded it
then I chose the file to be printed.
Actually I asked for feedback many and I asked Menna to suggest an idea of drawing on hemisphere so, she sent me videos to watch and I practised the features.
I got stuck when it came to design on a sphere. and I drew like a tenth of wrong sketches :D
But I watched videos to help me and I asked Menna too.
I think it became clear that I will use fusion 360 to design the body of project. as well as, using 3D printing or laser cutting in fabrication process. and I think that I got a bit familiar to those tools.
the vase drawing by using multiple features was cool in particular sweep one.
That's it. 3D pen holder.
that's a screen shoot for printing parameters
