3D Printing
So this is my page where I am going to tell you about my 3d printing project. For my project i will be printing out a toothbrush holder.

First I got onto inventor and made a new sketch. I made the sketch by having two parallel lines with arcs on each end connecting them. I then extruded this to three and a half inches. I then went back and made a sketch on one of the sides. I made the same exact thing but a little smaller to still have the shape.

So now that my design is all finished and sized in Makerbot, I can now move to the lab. I insert my flash drive into the printer and follow the instructions. First, you use the wheel to scroll to USB. Then you scroll to the file you want to print and click on it. The printer will then begin to heat up and get ready to print.
