Task 1: 3D Printing \n\n### Overview\n\nBrief description of the 3D printing task and its goals.\n\n### Materials Needed\n\nList of materials required for the task:\n\n- 3D printer\n- Filament \n- 3D model files\n\n### Execution\nThe first step involves preparing the 3D model, ensuring its compatibility with the chosen filament and printer specifications. Subsequently, slicing software such as Creality or Ultimaker is used to generate the STL file, with adjustments made to print settings for optimal results.\n\nAfter loading the filament into the 3D printer and performing necessary calibrations, the printing process begins. Throughout this phase, it's crucial to monitor the print and address any issues that may arise.\n\nPost-processing includes tasks such as removing supports and refining the printed object to achieve the desired quality. A final quality check ensures the success of the project.\n\n### Images\n\nImage 1 \nImage 2 \n\n### Github\n---\n\n# Task 2: API\n### What is an API?\nAn API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that allows one software application to interact with another.\n\n### Images\n\nImage 1 \n\n\n### Github\n---\n\n# Task 3: Working with Github\n### What are Issue and Pull request?\nIn GitHub, an issue is a tracked item used to discuss, organize, and prioritize work on software projects, while a pull request is a proposed change that is submitted for review and integration into the main codebase.\n\n### Images\n\nImage 1 \n\n\n### Github\n---\n# Task 4: Get familiar with the command line on ubuntu and do the following subtasks:\n* Create a folder named test.\n* cd into that folder.\n* Create a blank file without using any text editor.\n* List the files in that folder.\n* Create 2600 folders in this folder where each folder is named like .
