Solidworks 3D Modelling - Build a Steam Cleaner From Scratch

In my third year of college, I had to make a complete digital 3D model of a Steam Cleaner for a product design module. I took photos of a hand-held steam cleaner, took it apart, measured each part and then built it part by part in Solidworks.

I created complete annotated technical drawings of each part, made an assembly file, put all the pieces together, split them apart and created assembly trails, made another fully annotated technical drawing of the assembly file, made a fully rendered picture from two different angles, and finally created a short movie showing the entire steam cleaner including every part, assembling and disassembling the steam cleaner.

This was my first time using Solidworks, and the learning curve was very steep. It is a complex program. It was an individual project as opposed to a group one. I learned a lot about 3D modelling and Solidworks from this project. The picture is of the actual digital 3D model I created.
