Step by step on how to make a keyring prototype using Fusion360.




Click on “Create a Sketch” (1) and select any plane (2).


Click on “2-Point Rectangle” (3) and input measurements 65mm X 25mm.


Select “Offset” (4) and click on the rectangle. Offset the sketch by -2mm.


Select “Fillet” (5) and click on the 4 outer corners of the rectangle.


Type 5mm and press Enter.

Click on “Line” (6) to create a line down from the top to the bottom on the left side of the rectangle.

Right-click on the line and select “Normal/Construction”.

Select “Dimension” (7) and click on both lines (circled in red).

Change dimension value to 7mm.

Open “Create” and click on “Point” (8) to create a point in the middle of the line (Denoted by a triangle).


Click on “Centre Diameter Circle” (9) and draw a 5mm circle from the point that was recently created.


Select “Create” > “Text”.


Type one short word with your desired font and adjust the height to fit the rectangle. (Using “Alignment” (10) makes adjusting easier).

Once done click on “Ok”.


Click on “Finish Sketch”

Highlight the base excluding the hole and click on “Extrude” (11). Extrude highlighted parts by 3mm.

After extruding, click on the eye beside “Bodies” (12) to make sure it's white.


Next, expand “Sketches” and click the eyes to make them grey.



Now select the outer border and name and click on “Extrude” and type 1.5mm.

From the extrude menu (13) select “Start” and change to “Offset” and enter 3mm. Press “Ok” once done.


Click on the eyes for “Sketch” to hide them to show the finished product.

And you’re done ;D.



For the second part, we were tasked to design a handphone holder in Fusion360 that can be laser cut. So what I did was search the internet for a simple laser cutter phone holder and got this image.
Hence I decided to use this image as an inspiration and base design for my phone holder. At first glance it looks like a whale to me hence I decided to replace the two pyramid shapes with my own whale design using fusion360. 
So using the parametric design and I made a simple rectangle and played around with the dimensions to fit my phone which is an iPhone 13 Pro Max module. Next was using the fillet to curve the sides of the rectangle to make the head of the whale. 
Next was using the Fit Point Spline to draw the remaining of the whale's body as well as the tail which was going to be used to place the phone.
After that, I just made holes for eyes and that was basically my final product. I then made a base, followed by extrusion at the base of the whale to fit the base and my design was essentially finished.



Reflection
Doing the phone stand was definitely a challenge for me for I am still not used to fusion360, especially the 3-dimension mode which was complex for me to get used to and see. However with its about drive, it's about power, we stay hungry, we devour. With practice comes perfect so in the future I would go out of my way and practice more.

Arduino Programming

 Arduino Programming Welcome back to my blog, for this week I learned about the Arduino program by coding and using the Arduino board.  Before the practical, we learnt about the Arduino coding that we used during our practical which we were tasked to code a flapping mechanism to flap the wings of a cardboard unicorn. The tools given to work with were the Arduino box which we had, a servo and a long malleable wire. Pretty straightforward given the tools, we just had to tie the wire to the wings and hook the wire to the servo that is connected to the Arduino board. To make the wings flap using the servo, we use the sweep code menu and with the original code on the blackboard which was: /* Sweep by BARRAGAN <http://barraganstudio.com> This example code is in the public domain. modified 8 Nov 2013 by Scott Fitzgerald https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LibraryExamples/Sweep */ #include <Servo.h> Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo // twelve...

LASER CUTTING

Image
In the second week of CP5070, my group members and I were tasked to do a parametric design using the laser cutter. We had to do Stanard Operating Procedures (SOP) 24 hours before the practical day which we did in a table format and printed out and brought on the day of the practical which we used during the individual competency test which I had to operate the laser cutter and laser cut out a small rectangle with the word "test" engraved on it. As much as the SOP that I and my group members did was helpful, it was definitely the bare minimum for an SOP and there definitely could have been improvements and changes done for it to have been up to a good standard.  Hence I took the time to change and improve my group's SOP. The first change was obvious to all of us and that the font size was too big and the information wasn't easily accessible due to having to flip the pages. the page where another half of "safety" was at another page which needed to be flipped ...

Welcome. I am, Danial or Z.Danial (since there is another Danial in the class), the one with dyed hair and looks Chinese. So yes, I am mixed, Chinese Malay but I consider myself a free thinker. I am from group 5 and my role is time manager so I basically make sure things are submitted on time. This is me playing with a childhood toy at 18 years old...  In my free time, I usually play games such as league and valorant mostly with friends and my CCA right now is SP track and field. I also work at an Ice Cream Cafe called "Apiary" at Neil Road so drop by and come support. So for two personal goals, I wish to achieve from the CP5070 module is to first and foremost improve and expand my use of fusion 360. So to achieve this I had thought of going out of my way to play around with fusion360 or watch videos on people showing shortcuts and fusion360. I will know when I have achieved this goal once people start seeking help from me on fusion360 whenever we are using fusion360. The sec...
