3-d Print
In this project I decided to do a headphone holder. Since I like playing bass guitar I decided to base my idea off of a guitar. So I chose to make it look somewhat like a banjo. There is a hole at the top and a rectangle at the bottom to feed cord through. To make this I first started a sketch in Inventor, making a circle, then I extruded it. Then I took part of the circle and cut a rectangle at the bottom. I then added a rectangle to the top for the bridge of the guitar. I then put a hole at the top of it. This allowed me to make the holder like I wanted.
The first thing I did was make a circle with a 2 inch diameter. I then drew a rectangle above it making it 2 inches long. I exruded it then made a small rectangle at the bottom middle of the circle. I made a circle on the neck of the "banjo" and extruded it so there was a whole. I saved it as an STL file and moved it to maker bot. I saved it on a flash drive and moved it to the machine. I started printing. You have to wait for the the 3 set up steps to finish. Then after it will start printing. Once it says you are done you can say "Congrats me, you are done."
What I Learned
In the 3-D rotation I learned how to use the MakerBot properly. I also learned how to make things and upload them to the machine. I thought this would be the hardest rotation to do but, turns out it was easier to do then I thought.
