Week #3 - Journal

Assignment's ideas for this week:-

1.Doing the pre-activity and share it on FlipGrid

2.Utilize Fusion 360's 3D features and sub-features to create 3D objects

3. Manage 3D components in Fusion 360 and perform different types of joint

4.Design a model of a pen and pencil holder that may rest on a flat surface (Table Top) as ONE 3D Part using Fusion 360 and fabricate it using 3D Printing.

5.Utilize Prusa Slicer to manipulate and set printing properties.

6.Use 3D Printer to fabricate a 3D object

I care about this idea: to know the basic principles and Utilize the Fusion 360 toolset to create one unit 3D objects and designs and perform the 3D objects with different types of Joints.

Moreover, Use the 3D Printer machine to fabricate 3D as one unit or several units connected with joints.

1. I searched on the internet about the designs of a mobile stand for inspiration. I liked a lot of designs.

2. I imagined the design in my mind, then I sketched it using paper and pen. I Imagined 3 Designs and I made them gain a good experience.

3. I opened the fusion 360 software

4. I Sketched the parts of the design on a new sketch on the software (using the tools that I have learned from the Diploma)

5. After finishing the sketch, I extruded the parts to turn them into 3d parts (Distance 3 mm, the thickness of plywood)

6. After Extruding I Utilized the designs with a lot of the 3D Designs Features such as (Sweep, Shell, Loft, .....)
   The choice of features depends on the design of the model.
   (The Photos contain all the design steps of the 3 Designs witch I worked on)

7. I joined and assembled the parts of the design together to show the final design of the project, and to notice if there is any problem with the dimensions before fabrication and printing.

8. After making sure that all is ok. I exported the file as STL file

9. I opened (Prusa Slicer )

10. I imported the one model Design file

11. I fit the dimensions and the place of the design and I edited the scale (proper scale) in order that (The model shouldn't exceed 25 grams or up to 90 minutes for printing after slicing).

12. I Prepared the setting of the Printing (Print Settings: 0.2 mm Normal, filament: General PLA, Infill: 20%, Supports depend on the design)

13. I exported the design as file.Gcode to import on the 3D Printing machine.

we supported each other to know how to deal with the machines and use them, Moreover we helped each other with a lot of problems witch occurring during the design

We supported and helped each other in drawing the parts of the med week practice design (Ball kit) and the motion of joints.

The instructors helped us on how to extract any indirect dimension of the model, and how to manage our time during the maker diploma, how to design on a spherical part and how to handle a 3d design with consist of many parts.

I had some problems using the 3d feature

by trying and error, and after watching the recorded sessions all the problems dissapered.

I learned to Utilize Fusion 360's 3D features and sub-features to create 3D objects

I learned how to Manage 3D components in Fusion 360 and perform different types of joint and Utilize Prusa Slicer to manipulate and set printing properties.

after this week My design skills developed a lot and I can design and fabricate a lot of 3d Models

The coolest thing that I have learned this week is how to design on a Spherical 3d model.

The thing that I will never forget is how to simulate the prototypes models in Fusion 360 software before making it.

I made a simple 2.5D Vase as a Pre-activity using Fusion 360.

I made the mid-week practise kit design and I designed 3 pen holder models as a self prctise using Fusion 360
