How I got the IDEA:
I came up with this design because whenever I go to bed I never have a place to put my phone. Also, I wanted my phone to be able to charge at the same time. Although, I didn't want it to lay flat because that wouldn't really be a phone holder. So, I decided to make it go at about a 35 degree angle. I also added a charger hole at the bottom. Lastly, I measured all the distances so everything would fit.
How to make it:
First, you have to dimension your figure to the correct length and sides.
Second, extrude the front part to the correct length.
Third, extrude the flat bottom part to the correct length.
Then, you are done in inventor
Fourth, put the Inventor file in Maker Bot and scale it to 1000%. Also, pick the side that needs the least supports.
Fifth, set the setting correctly.
Lastly, watch it print.
Overall, from using inventor and a 3D printer I learned that making useful things around the house is not very difficult. Using the 3D printer the second time was a lot easier. Also, making something that works and I can actually use satisfying.
