What Is Inventor?
Inventor in a 3d modeling software used to make any range of products, in this is the CAD we use in Idea a well as Big Idea.
How I Made My Widget #4
First I made the sketch of the side view with the Line tool and then I dimensioned them too the right specs.
Then I extruded the sketch with the Extrude tool, I made the extrusion 1 inch.
Next I made a sketch of the right side in order to cut of the angle on the left side of the widget.
Finally I negatively extruded the sketch so it would take away the material.
And this Is my final product in Inventor.
If you want to print out the widget you will have to put it in a 3d printer slicer like the maker bot one, the most important thing you have to do is make sure the is no ledges with out support because the 3d printer can not print that.
This is my widget being printed, It took about 20 minutes to print.
This is my final product, it turned out good and exactly 1x1 inch when using a dial caliper.
What I Learned
In this project I learned how to use the 3d printing software and how to use the 3d printers controls. I also learned the importance of the snipping tool, at the end of this project I got a little widget that was 3d printed and it came out better than expected.
