Process + Procedure

The first prototype I made on Fusion, I attempted to create a hinge mechanism for my phone stand. However, I wasn't sure how the parts would connect, or how sturdy it would be. For my second prototype, I first made a version out of illustration board, which allowed me to physically see and edit the dimensions that would stand. 

Once I had the dimensions on the illustration board, I created another version on Fusion. The difficulties that came with this were creating a hollow space that the phone would rest on that was parallel to the overall stand, but was at a different angle from the two sides. 

When creating the extrusions that would allow the two pieces to interlock, I had to make sure that the print would lock but not too tightly. In order to do that, I used press pull and offset the three sides on both pieces that would interlock.
