-# Pre fab academy 2017
-## Introduction to fab lab 19/11/2017
-The start of the first day was very smooth, Fran has introduced us to Fab lab history.
-A brief introduction about the Fab lab and the Fab lab network was clearly explained.
-" A fab lab help to reduce cost of innovation and make it available for everyone which will eventually lead the to growth in the economy".
- Moreover, Mr fran has showed us
-The various applications people developed across the world using Fab lab.
-Later that day, we were introduced to Pre Academy course and
- how the Pre academy would support us to fill the gaps to undertake the Fab Academy course.
- Documentation Documentation Documentation, This word Fran has frequently repeated to
- address the importance of documentation for completing both the Pre Fab Academy and the Fab academy
- and for running a well organized Lab with a safe environment for people to innovate and create.
- Debugging table
- For keeping a safe environment in our Fab lab we should stick two labels on each machine
- one to identify risks and the other to direct users of the safety procedures before using the machine.
-  I am here to change your mentality Fran responded to his own Question why am I here
-   Some usefell link:
-   - github.com/academany/preacademy [Acess pre academy schedule and details]
-   - fablab.io [to register our lab]
-   - 3dhubs.com [Register the lab in order to get customers to ask to print stuff and generate some income]
-   - fabman.io or fab-manager.com  [for booking, payment and management of machines]

-## Introduction to Linux 20/11/2017
-
-A huge resistance vibe was introduced in the room during the second day as we read the title of second day. The class started to state
-the advantages of Windows and how is it better than Linux. On the other side Fran comprehensively proved us wrong and
-that everything
-done in Windows could be done in Linux without having to spend a penny. Linux is an open source operating system and
-its widely used for the Fab lab machines.
-We started the process of transformation by researching ways for downloading Linux on Windows.
-At the beginning the idea of having a virtual machine operating Linux on windows seemed suitable.
-We started by downloading the virtual machine software from :  and then downloaded linux Ubuntu from :
-the next step was to run the virtual machine software and set part of the hard-desk for Ubuntu. Lastly we created an
-account on linux and were ready to start using Ubuntu.  I faced a huge lag with my ubuntu version as I had the 32 bits version
-At the moment I decide to use the Live Ubuntu, it was running smooth however, the live version wont allow you to save files
-so you will have to redo them whenever you close Ubuntu. I resumed the second day using the live version.
-
-Linux:
-- Command line uses Unix Philosophy
-- Every function has an individual command
-- Linux is case sensitive
-
-Terminal Commands:
-- [ls]  For list where blue color for directory and white color for files
-- [ls-l] To show the list of files
-- [Clear]  To clear
-- [ls-a] To show hidden files
-- [ls-al] To show hidden files in a list
-- [ls-alh] To show the size of each file in a human readable unit as usually its in bytes
-- [man ls] For command manual
-- [CTRL+shift+v] To paste
-- [CTRL+shift+c] To copy
-- [cd] To call directory, for example cd Desktop will take yuo inside the Desktop folder
-- [cd -] Take you to the last directory
-- [cd ..] Would take you one line up
-- [mkdir] To make a directory (folder)
-- [rdmir] To remove directory
-- [touch] To add a file, for example: [*touch Murad.md*] where md (mark down) is used for documentation
-- [rm] To delete files
-- [mv] To rename a file, for example: [*mv Murad.md principle.md*]
-- [sudo su] To access the root
-- [nano] Text editor in the command line
-
-Atom: is a text editor software we are going to use for documentation. We have downloaded it using the terminal command by:
-Atom command line:
-- [#] is a header
-- [##] is a subtitle in a header
-- [cat] To check what you have in a file without accessing the folder, for example: *cat principle.md*
-- [cat -n] To know how many lines in a text file, for example: * cat -n principle.md*
-- [echo] To overwrite something in a file
-- [* text*] To write something in Italic

-## 3D printing and scanning 22/11/2017
-
-My task was to 3D print an Ultimaker 2 knob.
-
-Steps:
-1. I accessed [[thingiverse](http://thingiverse.com)] website and searched for the knob
-2. I downloaded the knob *stl* file
-3. I installed cura 3.0.1 using this link [[Cura](https://ultimaker.com/en/products/ultimaker-cura-software)]
-
-Ultimaker 2:
-- Cleaning:
-Should always ensure to keep 3D printer clean. The glass bed is cleaned by opening the clips then removing the glass, the glass is then
-wept with alcohol. Clean the feeder motor.
-
-- Pre printing procedures: prior to cleaning the printer, check the printer status. This is done by making sure the
-4 rods are not moving, The black belt is stable, Check the fan location. Finally, check the filament specially if
-it has been used before, to do that access maintenance from the ultimaker monitor then press on move filament. ( * this step should  be done every time you change the material or if you abort a job )
-
-Cura:
-
-1. Open the stl file
-2. Choose the infill to be 20%
-3. If you are printing a tall object usually tick build plate adhesion and generate support
-4. Save the file to a SD card
-
-Printing:
-
-1. Place the SD card inside the printer
-2. Access you file and print
-
-
-Notes:
-- Do not glue the build bed
-- Filaments diameter is 2.85 mm, where the filament cover is a bit bigger however its smaller than 2.95mm
-- High humidity affect the filament and could increase its diameter to more than 2.95 ( if this happens put the filament in the oven for half an hour at a temp of 40 Celsius)
-- Do always break the filament, do not pull it after it comes out of the nozzle
-- Sometimes the extruder spring push the filament very hard in a way the motor will start to eat the filament which will cause it to stuck.
-In this case loosen up the spring by rotating the screw found above the extruder.
-- Do not use carbon fiber filament unless you need a very strong object ( *It will destroy the nozzle*)
-- To check whats wrong with your Ultimaker go to [[Ultimaker trouble shooting](http://support.3dverkstan.se/article/23-a-visual-ultimaker-troubleshooting-guide)]
-- you can print objects with a maximuim 45 degrees without the need of support
-- You can never print a pointy design using Ultimaker 2
-- Always watch the first layers to ensure everything is smooth
-- The building plate should be 0.1 mm away from the nozzle ( This is done by accessing going to maintenance then bed leveling and following steps)
-
-3D Scanning:
-
-3D scanner is used to scan and 3D draw objects. The 3D scanner we are using is the *Sense first generation*, it has one optical
-camera to capture texture and one infrared camera to detect the shape.
-
-Steps:
-
-1. Install *sense first generation* software ( only installed on windows) and follow the steps
-2. To scan an object point the camera at the object and ensure to point around each angle of the desired object
-3. Once done make sure to solidify the object before printing it
-4. Save the file ( file will be save with an obj extension which is readable by Cura software)
-
-## Electronic production 23/11/2017
-
-Roland SRM 20 (mono fab )is used to print and cut PCB.
-
-Setting up Roland SRM 20:
-
--  A corian material( or pad) to be placed above the machine plate, as the machine machine maximum low point is very high and wont reach the board
-- Double tape the pad and stick in the printer
-- machine has two types of spindles either the 3.1755 mm and 6.33 mm
-- 1/46 inch milling bit is used to cut the PCB trace ( *handle with care* )
-- 1/32 inch milling bit is used to cut the board and the vias
-- The two milling bits we used have two flutes (sharp edges)
-- The board applicable for the Rolland mono fab is the FR1 board ( made out of paper)
-- ** Never use the FR4 board for this printer as those boards are made out of glass and epoxy**
-- To cut a two sided board, The board should be symmetric
-- Always hold the PCB board from the side ( not to rust the copper)
-- Place double tape on the PCB before setting it in the printer
--

-Preparing and sending the PCB to the printer:
-
-1. upload the PCB image to the fab model website [[Fab model]( http://fabmodels.org)]
-2. Choose the input to be image.png
-3. Choose the output to be Roland mill (.rml)
-4. Process: choose PCB traces 1/64 inch to cut traces and 1/32 inch to cut the outer board
-5. set x0= 0mm, y0= omm, z0= 0mm [Setting the origin]
-6. set the cut depth= 0.1mm for traces and 0.4mm for the board ( should be half the milling bit)
-7. set number of ofset= 4 for traces and 0.1 for the board
-8. set the input dpi= 1500
-9. Save it (Do not send it)
-10. Download the machine software Roland mono fab (* only for windows*)
-11. Access this link [[Rolland software](http//:startup.rolanddg.com)]
-12. Follow the instruction
-13. Run the V pannel software for the SRM-20 printer
-14. From the machine coordinates Choose the origin to x= 2mm, y= 2mm and z= -33mm ( never use continue command to reach the z level)
-15. Release the milling bit to set on the board then lock it
-16. Click on the user guide and Set this as the new origin
-17. Press cut
-18. Choose the file
-19. Press output ( the machine will start printing )
