Bookholder

I will explain my design process of making my design on tinkercad.

I first began this project by thinking of an idea to create. I thought about 2 ideas. The two ideas I came up with are a book holder and a pencil holder. The pencil holder seemed like a good idea but also seemed to basic. With it being so basic I decided to create a book holder to hold a book open or just to stand it up.

The thing I decided should be first would be creating the base. I started by using the box shape. I put the box on base and the measurements were 127mm length, 80.62mm wide and the height was 10mm.

For this step I decided to use another box shape but for the book to actually lay on. The measurements for this shape ended up being, height-104.48mm length- 125.39 width- 46.47.

The next step is to make the back stand for the holder to actually stand upon itself. I made sure that I clicked "back" on the view cube. After I could see the back of the holder I chose another box shape to actually make the stand. I shaped it to different measurements to see which would work the best. The final measurements were length- 81.05, width- 27.34, and height- 87.83. The second to last thing I did was tilt it a little bit for it to do its job properly. At last, when I was happy with the shape I placed it on the back of the shapes and grouped it to see if the measurements weren't off and they were good.

I used the shape "I" to create just a little structure for the bottom so the idem that will be layered on top would stay in place.

At last, I used 2 more "I" shapes and did the same thing as did in the step above this one but only for the sides.

After that was finished. I grouped everything together to make sure the measurements were right. I then downloaded my design on my flash drive and printed it.
