At my first visit to FabLab, i had the chance to get practical knowledge of different digital fabrication machines.
So, I decided to design my own sensor holder for a 3d printer, which i was inspired by this course's concept to "make" or "D.I.Y". As it went wrong, so i designed another personal logo.

Which software/machines/materials did you use this week? Why?
"Ultimaker Cura" slicing software.This software helped me to prepare my designs for 3d printing. It will give an estimate of time consumption and total weight of the parts printed after slicing it through this software.
(It is alternative slicer software for "Prusa slicer"
35 Mins in PLA Generic filament and 6 grams total filament will be used
Infill settings 25 % , layer height 0.2mm
In prusa i3 MK2 printer settings

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

After getting some ideas and concept of different designs from the internet, I applied similar concept on my own design. For being my design correctly i used my ruler to get exact measurements and to design it on "Autocad software" and some little help from "fusion 360"

Also i had to laser cut a logo... so i designed my own logo which is at the bottom of the picture. the process is simple after designing i had to export it to .DXF file, then opened it on laserwork software and applied the cut and scan(engraving) parameters and settings i had set cut -speed 22 and power 65 and for scan- speed 300 and power 20 . Then clicked download so that my file will be now in my machine.
On the machine first we have to check the home (point of the laser on the end of wood sheet) and then check the work frame by using that option in the machine. Once all set just relax and see how it laser cuts the wood with our designs. ( as shown in the video)
i had used 3mm wood sheet 30 cm by 15 cm.
n calculated the total work time on the machine - 6minutes and 36 seconds.
i pressed on file option then choose my file and pressed enter and then pressed run.
In 3d printer, after slicing the design it is exported into .gcode format and saved to an external micro sd, which is then inserted into the printer, after confirming to print that file the printer will heat the bed and the extruder to the required temperature and will start laying layers on the bed till the final product is ready as seen in the picture.
i fabricated my personal designed logo which i wanted to have for along time. This is the video of fabrication of this logo.
This logo was printed by PLA silver color on Prusa I3 MK2 in fab lab 1st printer and had to set temperature for the nozzel - 215 degrees and the bed- 60 degrees

Throughout the sessions, It was great honor to hear other peer's idea and get get feedback also. As when er were discussing about final project i contributed specific details to help them in the project. last but not the least getting feedback on "Flipgrid" by everyone helps me to engage n uplift myself more than before.
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?

As for my first week, i had a challenge that the part i wanted to 3D print for the first time in the lab- it was very big and i think its because of limited knowledge in designing software :)
i turned to my instructor he also suggested me to check my measurement in my software .
That was the point to pause before moving on as i had to finish this step by step.
Mistakes and challenges i faced was to dream big no problem but start with strong base..... so i would suggest all to follow small and simple steps first.

Having the pleasure in receiving "Easter Eggs", various websites with many project ideas and highly motivation and inspiration projects. which helped me a lot to understand what is required from me and the key concepts of implementation.
WOW!

I really liked CNC Laser cutter fabrication machine. Moreover, the beautiful engraved and cut items which upon seeing them i felt amazed.
