I am SO proud of my 3d printed eyeglass holder, I got it right the first time and didn’t botch anything, not to mention it actually worked which I was doubtful about. My original design I think was too small so I ended up redesigning it before I actually printed and it was probably a good thing I did. The process of printing it was actually a lot easier than I thought it would and I did print it early just in case I ended up printing spaghetti, thankfully I did not.
The purpose of my model was exactly as the title states, an eyeglass holder, and an eyeglass holder it is. It works darn near perfect and serves its purpose 100%. Out of all the projects I enjoyed this one the most, maybe because I actually knew what I was doing and had an actual reason for creating it. I did not have a problem designing it as it was just simple shapes and nothing to crazy, there is no real thing it is supposed to look like so you interpret as you like. I used to google to convert inches to mm so that I knew a relative size for it, I don’t if thats a smart idea or not but it seemed to work just fine for me. I would like so say that it is a universal sunglass holder.
So, I think for it being my first time ever using a 3D design software, mixer, slicer and 3D printer I did pretty darn well. I had a lot of fun making my holder and maybe will be designing and printing more things in the future.
