3D Print Notebook
While first thinking of the project I decided to make a phone holder. The toothbrush at home already has its own stand, but being able to watch my phone without holding it would be much more comfortable. First I imagined a simple L design but it with the phone on it, it could possibly tip over so I thought of a solution.
Pre-Work
This is my phone that had to be held. It had to be large enough to support this or the phone holder would be pointless.
Order of Creation (Recipe)
Here is my print in MakerBot. I have set the settings to Smart Extruder+ and no supports because they are not needed for this print. From here I will upload the MakerBot file to my flash drive and google drive. On the far right is my print preview showing all layers and the time it will take to print.

What I Learned
Over the process of the 3D-printed phone holder I learned many things, including when to use supports, changing a design, and reloading filament. I learned I didn't need supports on my print because none of it is "mid-air". I learned how to go back and change my design in inventor by accessing the first sketch. Then I learned to reload filament because it was disconnected, I had to use the printer's screen to choose unload and then reload it.
