3D object slicing
1- Select printing speed (Normal)
2- Select material (PLA)
3- Select the printer model (Prusa i3 MK2S)
4- Select infilling (20%)
5- Slicing
6- Time and # grams is high
7- Scale it 15 times rather than 100
8- check if the time and #grams is within the quota
9- Export GCode
Fab lab Laser cutting
1- Import dxf logo file
2- Select the outer line to be cut
a- speed: 25
b- power: 65
3- Select the inner lines to be engraved (scanned)
a- speed: 300
b- power: 20
4- Save as .rld 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?
1- Insert SD card that contains the gcode file into the machine
2- preheat to change filament
3- select the right heat for the (extruder 215- bed 60)
4- wait until it reaches the temperature
5- Pull the old filament
6- insert the new one
6- printing

I asked about different materials available and when to use each one
someone asked about other software for slicing

We had a limited time to print our samples and only one printer was available, so we rescaled one sample again to reduce time to 13 min.
