In this rotation I was on 3D printers meaning I would have choose a projects and sketch out ideas of it in my designer notebook then draw them out on inventor. I looked at other ideas of phone holders while doing this so I would have an idea of what I wanted my phone stand to look like. Drawing out a phone holder on inventor was easier said then done I made several mistakes and changes until I finally came out with the product I wanted. I then saved this file to my flash drive and took it down in the Innovation Center where I printed it out using one of the 3D printers,
Designer Note Book
Phone Holder
In this rotation we had to choose from a few projects that we could do. I choose to make a phone holder. Before starting to design it I went online for awhile and looked at other 3D printed phone holders that other people had designed. After taking a glance online, I started my own design with ideas from other people on inventor and just kept adding onto it. Once it was finished i saved it on my flash drive and printed it out on the 3D printer in the Innovation Center.

Summing up this rotation I've learned a lot about using the 3D printer and how products can be created with the 3D printer in general. I also was taught that you can change the color of the filament in the 3D printer to what ever colors are accessible for you to use. Lastly I learned that its not easy to make stuff on inventor when you have specific dimensions to meet, but if you try hard enough it will become easier.
