Process

Outline your approach to the project? What ideas did you generate and how did you refine or reject them? What did you research and explore? what were the design choices? What challenges were encountered and how did you resolve them?

I immediately sketched one out a lateral outline of the phone stand and extruded it to form the basic shape. For the charger cutout under the phone, I sketched out a rectangle, extruded it towards the phone stand, and did a cut operation. The circle cutout in the back was the exact same process. Finally, I added a filet to all the edges, and came up with my final model.

I decided to make the phone stand taller than what I found on Amazon, since I didn't want to look down to much. Also, I increased the thickness because I was afraid that the 3D printed stand would be too flimsy to support my phone.
