Round The Sound

This organization gadget that I made is for earbuds. I decided this would be a good design because there are so many people that ruin their earbuds because they get tangled and don't work. To start wrapping the earbuds you would start at the bottom and such the jack into the very bottom of the coil. The headphones should wrap all the way to the top. Then the end of the earbuds get put into the "c" hook. There should only be a small amount dangling but it should be small enough that it can't tangle with any of it.The main issues that I came across was trying to make it compatible with earbuds and headphones. I decided that this design was not compatible with a pair of headphones because the wire would have to coil upwards and they would have to hang at the top. There is nowhere that the jack would be able to hook and stay tight. If I were to redesign this again I would add a hook for the headphone jack too hook into place so there was a garented spot for the jack to stay in place. I would also add a place for over the ear headphones to fit on the design. There are a lot of different ways that 3D printing can help strengthen my design because if you 3D print the design then the design will be consistent every time. Also, the material used for a 3D printer is light weight. This material isn't very easy to break for this design. Also 3D printing would take a lot less time to make more of this model than if someone were to hand make it. Therefore, I think this would be a useful and portable earbud holder so that someone isn't having to buy pair after pair from them getting tangled and breaking.
