Fabricating for a Function

Part 2

In Part 1, I described that I needed to create some sort of container to hold cables and charging boxes so my desk can look less cluttered. I designed a “Cable Cubby” on fusion360 and it came out pretty good. Although it was a simple concept, this took me over an hour to get accurate and symmetrical measurements to create the different cubbies. One cubby is 80mm*80mm*70mm and the creation in total is 2 by 3 cubbies. However, I needed extra space to have a barrier separating the cubbies, so I made each barrier 2mm wide. This makes the whole “Cable Cubby” 248mm*166mm*72mm. I did not have lots of difficulty creating the holes in my model but I did have to constantly keep deleting the holes I made because I was not taking into account the size of the barriers. I learned that I should probably have a list of measurements or some sort of blue print before I create something instead of just trying to figure the measurements along the creation process. I also learned different ways to make holes but ultimately just used the simple way of cutting with multiple boxes.
