Desk Organizer

The desk organizer that I had created will help many individuals with virtual learning. The back of the desk organizer has a compartment to store a calculator or items such as a ruler. The main component of the desk organizer is in the center, it has 4 different sections which allow students to organize their writing utensils, the purpose of these tabs is so that the writing utensils do not fall over into the compartment, this allows students with less pencils to have their pencils still standing upright. In the front of the desk organizer, there is an area for students to put any items that they would like to store, such as their phone or snacks. Encompassed in that area is a small compartment for students to put their erasers into, by making a set compartment for the eraser, students will always know where the item is located. Some issues that I came up against was with the design. I had wanted to incorporate a design that would allow 3D printers to print with ought excess material being used as the support structures. This would allow for more desk organizers to be printed with less filament being used per organizer. To tackle this issue the desk organizer was built so that it could be printed from bottom up without any support structures. If the desk organizer were to be redesigned, some new components that would be incorporated into the organizer is a designated area for phones and a compartment on the side to encompass a ruler or folder paper somehow. By 3D printing this design, the design would be cheaper and easier to mass produce, it would also be stronger since the walls can be made thicker with the cheaper material.
