Week 2: Automated curtains

Deciding what I want to create for my project. Initially, I searched the house for something that would be ideal for automation. I thought that would be ideal when I saw the curtains! Automated curtains that knew when to open and shut. I had no idea how to get started or where to start. I began by creating a basic hook to hold a curtain rod since I knew I needed more experience with Fusion 360. Seemed fairly easy to make, but it still took me a long time. Using a 20mm diameter curtain rod I had at home, I began by measuring its radius. The hardest part of the task, in my opinion, was creating the through holes. It took me too long to figure it out, but once I did I felt unstoppable. Like i could now start making anything!
