Reflection

Below are also 5 nice photos of my final holder, with some pencils in it! Through this project, I was able to use the design knowledge I have gained in this class and from Project 1 to digitally create a pencil holder, and then through this project specifically, I learned how to 3D print, which was a great experience, as this was one of the main things I wanted to get out of the class! Through the 3D printing process, I learned that it really is not that hard, if you have the resources and know how to use them properly. I also learned that 3D printing takes a long time. I really like how my project turned out - but two things I could have done differently were to make my cube a little bigger and taller, so that I could create bigger holes for wider pencils and also make the structure more sturdy - but the pencil holder functions just fine overall. Also, I would have started my print job a little earlier, as I did not realize how long it takes to print.

But, overall, I am very happy with my project and how much I have learned through it!
