Inventor is a program that lets you design shapes in a 3d view and print them on 3d printers. It is the a 3d software where illustrator and Photoshop is a 2d software.
This is the steps that I went through to make my widget
First I created a 1 Inch by 1 Inch cube.
Third I expanded the top of the L by 1/8 of an Inch on the ends so there would be a gap in the middle and extruded out on the sides.
Last I cut a hole 1/4 of an Inch away from the edge and in the center of the bottom of the shape.

Second I cut away 3/4 of a Inch of the square so it would look like a bracket for a shelf.
Second to last I cut away the corners on the bottom of the shape.
This is my widget being printed on the 3d printer.
This is my widget after printing.

These are all the widgets I had to make in inventor.
