The assignment for the individual 3D printing rotation was to design a phone stand or a device to hold a certain amount of coins. I chose the phone stand because I figured I would use it. the original idea was to create an all-in-one stand that would also provide storage for a wallet, writing utensils, and more, but due to the size constraint, I decided on a wall mounted single-purpose version.

Real World:
Unlike some of my piers, my print was not print-and-play. Because of mistakes I made in the inventor stages and the warping of the 3D print, the pieces did not fit nicely together. It took literal hours of sanding and through use of a mallet, the two pieces fit so well I don't think I can get them apart.
This was honestly a pretty hard project. From trying to split a single piece into two separate parts (let alone trying to make those parts fit together in the real world) and then moving the individual pieces around in inventor to make them fit on the print bed. I learned a lot about the different functions inventor has and how it doesn't seem to favor multiple pieces in one workspace.

Here are the final pictures of the project.
(Yes, it's secured by zip-ties. I didn't know how else to attach screw holes to pegboard.)
