The final entry for the Multi-Function Reader Design challenge by Blackboard Transact is presented in this 6th submission. The design showcases a tube-shaped main housing with end caps, each secured with seven fasteners to create a rigid structure. For mounting purposes, the main housing has three mounting holes while each cap features one hole for five-point surface mounting. A drawer component is integrated into the design, serving as a container for Blackboard devices, third-party products or general storage. The drawer benefits from built-in rails to prevent mishaps during extension and a retainer tab to ensure it doesn't push through the unit. Additional features include an NFC contactless credential reader, credit card reader, forward-facing camera, motion sensor, circuit board hardware area, design space for lithium-ion battery, SD Card reader, RJ45, and USB ports. Optional extras like a printer or braille pad can also be incorporated. Solidworks editable files and STEP file formats are available, with the "simple solid" version designed for the GrabCAD 3D viewer.
