Journal Entry 9 - 3D Printing - Fabricating for a Function | Part 1

At the beginning of this semester, I moved to a new apartment off campus with my cat, and the windows have some blinds that don't work very well. In the video where I show it, I'm specifically talking about a blind at the living room where my cat stays most of the time when I'm not home, and he loves to look through it, but it doesn't work very well (you can see that since he even destroyed it a little to be able to see outside lol.) So, since it does not work properly and falls easily, my plan is to 3D print something that can make it stay all the way open for my cat to be able to look outside, and it doesn't let it fall. I think even my cat supports this since he was sure to appear in one of the videos I recorded lol.
