Doggo Stand

Problem

My desk was getting too cluttered from all the electronic devices I bought over the years. With the larger items being my Ipad and Macbook Pro 16.

Thought Process

As I was moving out from my house in 3 years time, I wanted to design something that I am able to bring along to my new home as a memory to my first project after graduating. Since my girlfriend and I both liked dogs, I decided to design a stand with dog walls.

The design was drawn to be easily manufactured for CNC/laser cutting by utilising large flat pieces. Additionally, to prevent potential scratches to my devices I opted for foam padding on the sides and bottom.

Prototype

After doing some basic sketching in Fusion360, I utilised my Artillary Sidewinder X1 3D Printer to print the PLA prototype.

Additive manufacturing is my prefered choice due to my ease to the machine and its relative low cost.

Testing

I rested the devices as intended and found that the walls were stronger than I thought. The prototype was able to hold the devices with ease, thus indicating that it might be possible to reduce the overall width of the design.
