I needed a mobile stand that could hold my phone at different angles, so I decided to design one myself. Using the 3DX Design tool, I created a 3D model, but before that, I did some basic mathematical calculations, applying the Pythagorean theorem to determine the ideal dimensions.

The first 3D print failed when assembling the parts. That’s when Ceren suggested using screws and nuts for a more secure assembly. I incorporated these modifications and reprinted the parts. Ceren's advice on optimizing the printing process made it easier to fix the screws and nuts, leading to a successful final product.

Seeing my first self-designed and 3D-printed model come to life was incredibly satisfying. Now, I use it every day, and it feels great to have created something both functional and personal.
