Assembly The whole assembly with dimensions on Inventor
What went well? I think the drawing of the product on Inventor went very successfully. Although I had a lot of trouble restraining the triangle to the center of the product, I finished it. In order to further continue this project, I think we should increase the size of the product and add more colors to it.
Any questions?
