Brake Bracket
I started my bracket by going into Tinkercad, due to me not understanding how to use Inventor. This meant my job was much harder because of the way Tinkercad works. When using Tinkercad you can only use a variety of simple shapes that you can alter, there is no line tool. Meaning I had to take a large amount of time to mold shapes and place them properly. In the image, you can see where I had to make a certain cylinder cut out. It looks simple, but this took me about 30 minutes or more (including thinking time)

Our class didn't have enough time for everyone to do run their own individual files through the mill. So we all watched as Mrs. Proctor ran hers, then after it was done we used it as our reference.
Though I didn't use the mill itself, I still understood how it worked and I also still made the brake bracket. The only difference than a normal year was me not using Fusion. Still, I learned how the CNC Mills work and how to set it up in the future when (if) I need to.
