3D Printer: A printer that takes a 3d model and turns it into a physical form. The 3d model is created using Inventor and then put into the 3D Printer software to be turned into something the printer can read and print.
I had created a basic outline and then took measurements to correct the shape.
I then took some of the rough corners and tried to smooth them out using the curve tool.
Then I took my phone holder and put into the 3d maker software. I made sure I had the right measurements and made sure it fit on the platform.
I then exported it and got to see how it will print and the total amount of time it will take to print.
Then the 3d printer warmed up and started printing the base or raft.
