This is the very start of my project, a rectangle that I will grow and add on to. I got the idea for a phone holder from when I couldn't think of a creative coin holder. So I started from a rectangle and improvised it from there.
This is my rectangle that I'm about cut into to make a placement for my phone
This is how it looks after I cut the rectangle out and I about to extrude more onto it to make a resting place for the phone.
This is after I extruded the extension for the phone to have a secondary leaning thing.
This is when I was cutting some stuff I feel like I didn't need and also it added style to it.
This is the when I cut those triangles out
This when I am going to extrude sides to it to have this contained box at the bottom to hold the phone
This is after I extruded the sides I'm also going to make the sides come to match the height of the forward piece
This is after I extruded up and this when I about to some rectangles and triangles into the bottom holder bit to add style to it
This is after I cut all the pieces out of the bottom part and I cut some of the stuff off of the back piece to save material for the 3-D printer, I just forgot to take screenshots of that happening. I am also about to cut a rectangle into the back piece to save some more material and add more style.
This is after I cut the rectangle out of the back piece. I extruded some backs onto the sides to have a flat surface to put the project on for the 3-D printer
This is when I put my design into Makerbot before I meesed with any of the scaling
This is the preview screen for my project in Makerbot and this after I scaled up by a thousand
This is the 3-D printer in the process of printing my project
This is the final product and I thought it turned out pretty well and it feels creative enough
I learned that the 3-D printer rotation I can really work one day and then another day I don't make any forward progress. I also learned how to use Inventor more efficently. It is a mixed bag for me, but I enjoyed it enough to do it again.
