For the 3d print project, I decided to create a toothbrush holder. This would keep 4 toothbrushes at most, and be easy to use with its design. For my design, it would be a simple object with 4 holes that would provide convenience and flexibility. I started off by making sketches in the designer notebook. The third design was the most efficient and stable.
Slicing and 3D Printing
Overall, this 3d printing rotation gave me a better idea of the design process from start to finish. From the conception and purpose of the object, to its design in 3d modeling software, and finally the 3d print, this project gave a definitive step-by-step process for making a functional stand alone object. A 3d print that has movable and mechanical parts would be another way to learn more about the design process.
