All the widgets
Step by Step Process
First I drew the shape using the line tool.
Then I dimensioned. This makes the shape more rigid.
then I extruded by one inch.
Then I exported it to the maker bot software to print.
this is the preveiw screen for printing and this can show you how many layers it will be and what it will look like at each layer.
This is my part while it was printing. This was around 25% done when this picture was taken.
This is a picture of what you see when you are printing from the 3d printer.
This is my final widget printed and done.
Summary
This project was overall really fun and I think this was a good project to get to know how to use the 3d printer. I learned a lot of stuff from this project like how to correctly export my file to maker bot and all the settings for printing such as extruder + and lay flat and size 1000%. I also learned how to effeciently take pictures on my phone and put them on my computer, I think this will be very useful in further projects.
