Assignment
Principles and Practices (part 1 of 2)
* Plan and sketch a potential final project
Project Management (part 2 of 2)
* Read, sign (add your name to) the student agreement and commit it to your repo
* Work through a git tutorial.
* Build a personal website in the class archive describing yourself and your final project. Refer to the lecture material for examples.
* Upload parts 1 and 2, to the class archive.
Introduction
This week, the FabLab program officially started, introducing international labs and study groups. In the opening sessions, an overview of the final project was shared, explaining what participants will work on during the program. The main focus of the project is on innovation, teamwork, and technical growth.
GIT
One of the first steps in the program is connecting our project to the cloud, or more specifically, setting up our personal portfolio so we can make future changes and updates easily. For this, we use Git, a tool that helps us track changes in our project and keep it synced with our computer. Git makes sure that every change we make is recorded, and we can go back to previous versions if needed.
We also learned about the structure of our portfolio in Git, especially the idea of "branches," which allows us to work on different parts of the project without changing the main version. We discussed how to sync our portfolio code when editing, how to upload images, and the limitations of file storage. It was stressed that writing clear and simple descriptions for each update is important for keeping things organized and professional.
HTML and CSS
I have prior Knowledge of HTML, CSS. I was able to create based on the Template and fully made it by myself. I modified the required files, keeping only the needed ones to effectively present my ideas.
I referred to some websites like W3School and BootStrap to enhance the structure and design of my HTML. These websites helped me optimize the responsiveness and aesthetics of my Portfolio.

Integrating GIT with Gitlab
1. Open the GitLab account.
2. Go to edit profile and select SSH Keys.
3. Now go to the Git bash on the computer that you have downloaded.
4. Create an SSH keygen for your GitLab account.
5. Copy the key and paste it on the SSH Key section of GitLab.
6. Use git bash to clone the repository.
7. Add username and email for git configuration.
8. Use these four main commands regularly:
1. git pull
2. git add –all
3. git commit -m "Message"
4. git push
Sketch the Final Project
PolyCycle v1.3
It is a 3D filament maker from plastic bottles. Many DIY versions exist, but my project focuses on automation and control systems.
The DIY versions manually cut the bottle to the desired size. I plan to automate this process to handle multiple bottles without constant supervision.
I also plan to include a control system similar to Creality Smart Pro 10, with a touch display.
