Week 3 - Journal

Ideation

Tell us about your assignment's idea for this week. Why do you care about this idea? What were you inspired by?

I inspired by the DIY pencil holder, it is a square divided into 4 places for different types of pens and pencils.

I added a place for notepaper and for small parts like an eraser. To make it special I add my name and small flower on one face of the square.

Which software/machines/materials did you use this week? Why?

I use fusion 360 to draw the design and I export stl file which I use in the prusa slicer program to prepare the file for the 3d printing machine.

Explain the design process of your assignment. How did you use the tool/software to design and/or simulate your assignment?

I draw a design on my paper and took all measurements, and applied it to my design, I start to work and draw it in 3d on fusion 360 which I trained on it through all week.

I didn't like the output so I thinking about another design, and I draw it, then I exported the file in DLX and prepare it for 3d printing machine using Prusa slicer to not exceed 25 gram and 90 minutes in the slicer.

finally, I exported it in G-Code file

Explain the fabrication/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?

First, I opened my slicer to show my work for lab istructor to make sure it is good

second I prepared the machine with instructor help

then I am waiting to finish

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?

my first design (neglected)

my useful design

I asked my instructor to give feedback about my first design and because I didn't like that design I changed it for this one.

I ask some help from my subgroup, they show me how I can return to my 3d body from a plan sketch.

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 faced a problem with a circular surface, I cant handle it very well, but I saw a YouTube video that recommended by one instructor, and it's so helpful.

And the combine order on the fusion 360 program didn't work with me very well, so I ask my instructor in the midweek session and he help me and explain it to me.

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?

I learned many different orders and application in 3d part like sweep, combine, revolve, and extra they will help me to make a good and nice design in 3d

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

The joints and the motion of the joint, it is a wonderful thing to see how it will work exactly, and I like how we can change the background and colors of 3d parts.

Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: Pre-activity, examples, exercises, or any mini-projects.

Through the week we take different exercises and make different vases with different designs.

We make a game medal with different motion in the joint.

We make a small circuit as pre-activity for the next week
