Toothbrush Holder Project
For our 3D print project we had to create a toothbrush holder, a coin holder, or a heaphone holder. I decided to do the tooth brush holder. In my drawing I had 4 holes in the my holder to make a holder for the toothbrushes to sit in.
Once I got into Inventor and started my project I choose the XY plane to do my project on
Once I got into it I made a 4 by 4 inch square and then extruded it 5 inches
After I extruded the square I made 4 circles with a 1.5 inch diameter and 1 inch away from each side of the square. After I did that I extruded the circles 4 inches in the box to make a area where the toothbrushes can go in.
After I finished using inventor I uploaded my toothbrush holder into MakerBot. Once there I scaled my object to 1000 and then printed.
What I learned
I learned how to use inventor and MakerBot during the unit. In inventor I learned how to extrude and create shapes inside of other shapes. I also learned how to get my shape from inventor into makerbot which wasn't that easy for me. Also I learned how to print 3D shapes.
