stationery organizer

thingiverse

A stationery organizer with different compartments/containers of all sizes to fit common stationery equipment such as paper, pens, easers, sticky notes, etc, where desired. The components are detachable with magnets on the sides and can be arranged in different ways like a puzzle piece. This basic and sleek design can match most office aesthetics while being functional by clearing your desk from clutter to help keep you organized and free up space for your virtual learning equipment. What issues did you come up against? My original design was very complex and did not meet my vision of an effective desk organizer. What I did to solve this issues is to keep it simple and functional, which is the main goal of creating a tool that can help with home learning (in this case, a stationery organizer to clear up space). This resulted in many prototypes created before finding the final product. Sometimes keeping things simple can help keep the functionality of a product. If you could redesign this again what would you change? To improve my design to increase its functionality, I think it is beneficial to have more compartments so that there are a wide range of sizes and number of compartments to be used. It is better to have extra compartments in which if the user can have a variety of compartments to choose from according to their needs. How would 3D printing help strengthen your design? 3D printing is very effective when prototyping designs. Is it completely customizable and give users the opportunity to build and make necessary changes whenever they wish to. 3D printing helped strengthen my design as there were multiple samples created before my final product to optimize the results.
