Individual 3D Print Project
I first started generating ideas and putting them into my notebook. After that, I started creating the idea I had of the earbuds holder in Inventor. I used curves to make it more smooth and even creating correctly sized earbuds holders. After that I took the apple logo and engraved it into the slanted top. The slanted top was there to use less plastic and to create an overall better looking design. After that it was exported to MakerBots software where I then decided to not use supports as the design did not need it. Then it was time to print and after printing the holder turned out extremely well.

Summary
In this project I learned how you can take a problem, such as tangled earbuds, and then create a solution to those problems in a formal way. By that I mean it is nicely crafted, smooth and uses strong material that will last compared to a cardboard version. To get to the point, the 3D printer can not only print your ideas but it can print them in a way that they are professional and built to last. I believe that in the near future food or body tissue could be created using a 3D printer.
