I was particularly daunted by this weeks assignment. I have never done any 3D modeling and have never used a 3D printer before so I really didn't know where to begin. For me, the 3D modeling learning curve feels pretty steep but luckily there are enough youtube videos out there that I can navigate my way through. I think I just need to dive in and get started.

**Inspiration:**
My inspiration largely stemmed from creating a simple design pattern since I am new to 3D modeling software. I started using Tinkcad to gain a basic understanding of how 3D designing worked. I started with the ["Let's Learn Tinkercad" Tutorial](https://www.tinkercad.com/learn/overview/O8XV0X1IRXTXGIH?collectionId=OY5L5E8IRXTI47Z&type=designs) and then moved on to try out a more complicated design using the ["How to Create a Moon" Tutorial](https://www.tinkercad.com/learn/overview/OTCBJ8AIRXTM037?collectionId=OY5L5E8IRXTI47Z&type=designs). I suppose my decision to choose spheres stemmed from create the moon in the tutorial. The specific pattern I ended up choosing was just a random decision that occurred as I was creating it on Autodesk.

This was my first time trying to navigate a 3D modeling program. I tried out a few tutorials on [Tinkercad](https://www.tinkercad.com/3d-design) and then moved over to Autodesk. I wanted to do a simple pattern that could be printed on fabric. I chose to try out spheres.
