I was propelled to take a closer look at the idea of converting visualization into designs and 3D printer was a very interesting device for such a task also understanding the dimensions from a physics student I studied material science and Dimensions and I was overwhelmed by the idea of 3D objects and Cartesian coordinates but seeing this in action was a whole thing.
for the laser cutter machine it was like a closer look at the mechanistic action of LASER I was delighted by the explanation of the instructors as they were brief and on the point too.
unfortunately, I couldn't print out my sample but I was happy seeing my colleagues having there samples

Basically it started with watching videos then I surfed the internet searching for interesting samples to print it and I met some interesting staff
then I used two softwaresLthe Laser cutter software which is used to adjust and manipulate the design as if I want it to be curved or cut also the scale of it
I enjoyed using the prusa slicer and I sliced Yoda unfortunately I couldn't print it due to time slots issue but I did it.
Fabrication/Implementation Process

the machine operated by pressing the compressor button then starting the software on the connected computer, we upload the file into the software and start assigning the laser power and speed which indicates the shape we want
we put the wood sheet and start repositioning the laser nozzle with the direction on the laser machine then we press "origin" which assign the new position as the starting position
we press download on the computer we press start and the machine will start operating.
For cutting: speed: 20 mm/sec Power: 65%
For engraving: speed: 300 mm/sec Power: 30%
the 3D printer has a thread like building material we operate it before doing anything so it reaches the required heat of making as it needs to reach almost 160 degree for the nozzle and 60 degrees for the plate.
the input is a g-code file inserted through a SD card or a flash drive USB inserted directly into the printer.
the Prusaslicer indicated earlier the amount of time needed for the model to be constructed.

I used Flip Grid to share thoughts with my friends and share videos of what I did so far.
Overcoming Challenges
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 project?

I asked my instructor then I searched google when I face a problem of finding a suitable 3D body to print also I tried to understand a lot of things within a short time frame.

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
using a 3D printer is a very important skill and it will be a huge assist for me designing my final project

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
connecting the game kit and trying to understand what will happen if I tried to code as what is the limitation of these hardware with coding.
