Fidget Box

thingiverse

My design is to help people focus. Sitting at your desk for long periods of time can make people get stir-crazy, especially when they don’t have an outlet for all of their pent up energy. Now with my design, the Fidget Box, there are 11 different components and a floor accessory that has everything someone needs to move and focus while they work from home. From buttons and scroll wheels to joysticks a spinner. That’s why a 3D design of this project will help all different types of people, whether you have an Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, or just like to move, there's something in the Fidget Box for you. When I decided I wanted to design my Fidget Box, one of the main issues was creating something that most, if not all, people could use whenever they feel antsy, anxious, or need to move in order to focus. I was able to resolve that issue by asking some of my neurotypical and neurodivergent friends what they see themselves doing (fidget wise) while they’re trying to focus in class. From their answers I was able to gather that movement, texture, and repetitive motion (ie. clicking) is something that most people use. So I implemented multiple parts to my project that showcased just that. If I could redesign this I might make the design flow better and adjust the wheels to make sure they can turn correctly while not making them look as bulky or awkward. 3D design would make the building process easier. I can imagine building each of the components separately, cutting the correct holes in the baseboard, and then assembling all the elements together. It would look more sleek and each part of the design could be used easier.
