Card Holder 

11/18/2024: Tuesday me and someone else we're asked if we want to design and 3D print a Badge card holder for someone that worked at Skills. The person that needed our help had three badge cards that he needed for work (which is one more than everybody else) So his cards wouldn't all fit in the normal badge holder that everybody else has. He had one already 3D printed for him but it was wearing out, so we we're asked to make him another one. This card holder couldn't be more than 4" by 2.5" by 0.3" and three cards stacked up on each other were 3.37" by 2.12" by 0.113", so we had to make sure we left a little extra in the holder so it was  easy to get the badges in and out. Also, there needed to be a hole on the top of the holder so that he could clip it onto his key ring. 

11/18/2024: Next was the deigning where we started with a sketch of the parameters for the holder, then we extruded up 0.3". Then made another sketch of a hole at the top of the holder and then extruded cut up all the way so that it went though the whole thing, so that the key ring would hold the badges inside. Next we Made a sketch for where the cards would be held we made the sketch just a few thou bigger than what the parameter asked for just so that the cards could get in and out easily, Then we cut up and in the middle of the part using the offset feature in the extrusion tab. Lastly we made sketches of the viewing holes where the cards couldn't fall out but they could still be viewed so that the bar codes could be scanned. We started with making the sketches small enough that the badges wouldn't fall out, then we extruded cut. 

11/19/2024: After we printed we cleaned up the part and went down to give it to him to see if it worked. Once we gave it to him he was able to easily slip all of his cards in it and nothing fell out he was also able to get his key ring on, but he asked for two extra so that if this one gets worn out he can have back up and he wanted them in orange and green.

Stamp Cover

This is a Stamp cover that we made for dimensional inspection because they always lose their stamp covers, so we thought it would be nice for the to just be able to ask us for a new one to be printed, and they need them so their stamps don't dry out. On the first prototype was a little too small and it wouldn't fully go onto the stamp, so we made a few additions to the thickness of the walls and how big the gap in between the walls then we tried that, it fit a little bit better but still wasn't there. We then kept taking down the wall thickness's until it fit.

TPU Button

This is a button that I designed and printed using TPU (a flexi filament used for D3 printing). I used coil tool in fusion to make the spring that lets the button come back up. To print this I needed to change the nozzle temperature to 240 so that the filament would melt and come out he nozzle. I also had to slow down the printer to allow time for the filament to come out of the nozzle. I also changed the wall loops and top surface layers because this button is more vertical I wanted to have the walls be stronger and the top layers didn't need to be so thick. 

Thor's Fidget Hammer

This is a hammer fidget spinner that I took inspiration from and designed it by my self in fusion and printed it. The hammer is only 2 inches tall and the spinning part only has a 20 thousands gap and it spins good still. 

4 Color Robot

This is a print that I used for different colors of PLA to make a little robot that I found online to use as a base to make the robot in fusion.

Warhammer 40K Two Way Sign 

This project I made a two way sign of a game I play "Warhammer 40K" I and using two different filaments I used PLA for the base and PETG for the letters. To actually print with the PETG I needed to raise the nozzle temp to 255 and I had to slow down the printer to 50 mm/s so it doesn't clog the nozzle.
