Project description: This is the last project in this class; as your final assessment, you will work on an open-ended project. I invite you to apply what you have learned to solve a real-life problem using your Fusion 360, 3D printing, and laser-cutting skills.
Choose one problem you or anyone in your family is facing, design your solution in Fusion 360, and create a prototype using the 3D printer and/or laser cutter.
For this project, I am doing a wire holder to organize loose wires on my desk so it won't be confusing and messy.
Brainstorm: I tried to make a design that would have multiple compartments and would sort the wires out to make it organized. I brainstormed by design out on notability. I could add a velcro system to strap down the wires to make them not fall.
These are my brain storm designs, for the one on the left, I could add a velcro strap to ensure the place of the wires. I have to find out the dimensions of the wire holder and then I can use fusion 360 to cad it.
Cading the design:
For this design, I tried a design like this. The bar has a hole that is 0.3 inches wide, which fits the tip of the wire, and the opening is a tiny bit bigger than the wire so it can slide in and stay there. I believe that this design can work, but the only problem is I don't know how to attach the device on the wall.
For my printed design, I think it works because the wire fits Inside the smaller entrance, and the tip can hang and suspend on the outside Circle.
To upgrade my design, I added a part that can suspend the design on the wall because I have a drawer, so I can add the thin upper part inside of it so it can be stuck there and stay in place. I measured the dimensions of the opening of the gap between the desk and the drawer which was about 0.1 inches, so the height of the bar is 0.1 inches.
The 3d printer failed and it turned into spagettie so I will print again.
This is my next non-spaghetti design. I think i might make the whole design 1.5x bigger so it won't break when holding up the wire. This design is better and I checked that the wire fits and the charger port fits. This design works, but it could have some minor improvements.
This is my next design, I multiplied all of the dimensions by 1.5 so it will look better and be bigger. This can prevent the design from falling off because of its small mass, and I added more holes incase I have more chargers. The printer failed, so I looked around and realized that the hanger isn't part of the actual wire holder, so I fixed that.
This is my final design printed.
This is my design in real time. It works, and can fit perfectly. The wires fit in the holes and can suspend themselves up perfectly fine. This design worked and I think there are little features that couldve been improved.
WISCR:
Well rounded - I felt well rounded in this project because I could design the project using all of the tools I learned like the rectangular pattern and the arc feature to create everything. I also learned how to use the move and copy function to add on the holder part.
Self Motivated - Because I knew from personal experience that if I spend to long on my Fusion 360 design, I decided to go really fast, print the design, and repeat the process while fixing bugs and adding details. I motivated myself to finish fast and in-time before it is to late to print.
Soul:
Strength's - My strength's was my experience on Fusion 360 because I could finish the design really fast and print and repeat the process.
Opportunities - I could have had a better holder part and make it more reliable.
Understanding - I understood what I wanted for my project and how it would look like. This made it easy for me to brainstorm and design the rough draft.
Limits - My limitations were the reliabaility of the printers because many times the printers glitched and said, "The z-axis isn't apparent" and I couldn't get it to work after no matter what I tried.
