CAD PHONE STAND

WELCOME TO MY HANDPHONE STAND DESIGN BLOG. This blog will document the thought process into creating this phone stand.📱

IDEA:

I first took inspiration from a small cute animal, a chicken.🐣 I wanted to make a personalised cute phone case that would suit my style. Hence, I also thought of functionality, I share a room with my littler sister so I created a design for a phone stand that can hold both our phones. And I also implement an adjusting design so the phone can lie in portrait or landscape form.

DIMENSIONS:📏📐

Length: 15.3 cm

Width: 8.5 cm

Thickness: 1.5 cm

SKETCH:✏

For the sketch, I started off with the backing support that will look like a chick. I sketch a rectangle slightly larger than the dimensions of my phone, Then a created a circle that overlaps with the rectangle having the same diameter as the rectangle. I trimmed off the lines that overlaps each other, then added two circles and a triangle to make the face of the chick. I then created two more circles at the bottom of the rectangle for the support I am going to add, and two thin rectangles at the sides to add the adjustment tabs. Finally, i fillet the corners for a neater look.


I then added the the support or where the phone will be supported at an angle. I extended the sketch and added two circles that are align with the previous two circles. I added a rectangle surrounding the outer two circles to make the platform where the phone can rest at an angle. By using the fillet tool to round the corners of the rectangle to give the overall product a neater look.
To make the phone stand two-sided, I then proceeded to make to large circles on the other side of the support to make another platform for another phone to stand/lean on. 


And finally, for a personal touch, I engrave a heart on the center of the design.


PRODUCT📠
Below will be some images of the design after I have extruded the sketch. The thickness of the material extruded is 1.5 cm but will vary from the actual material given.



REFLECTION:
I had so much fun designing this phone stand. It was a little hard for me to design using the software especially designing the support components due to space constraint. I had to redo the sketch numerous times because it always turn out slanted or not identical to each other. The extruding part was also a little tedious as extruding both sides causes the software to glitch and erase the extruded part. But those were just little obstacles I came across while make the phone stand. I loved designing by taking in my ideas and the functionality and making it come to live. If possible I would like to cut this to be able to put it together or even 3D print it. The measurements are definitely in need of adjustment but that will be done in the making of the product for trial and error. Overall, I was glad I was able to apply what I learnt in CAD into making my Chick Phone Stand Design.

 Hello! Welcome to My Project Development blog! In this blog, I will be documenting on My team (Kalyani & Friends) and I process o creating a prototype of the BREATHANALYSER. What is a Breathanalyser? It is an chemical device that can detect high concentration of alcohol, it alerts the user with a loud beeping noise and flash a red LED. It will also be equipped with a water dispenser to shoot water at the face of those who consumed large amount of alcohol. What is the objective? It is to reduce the amount of drunk driving cases by including annoying aspects to the breathanalyser such as the loud alarm and water shooter, people will be more reluctant to be tested drunk and be more cautious on how much alcohol they consumed. Roles & Task Allocations for the team: Kalyani: The team leader, Chief Executive Officer (CEO). She is in charge of overseeing the entire process of making the prototype of our chemical device. She makes sure the entire time is on the right track and ensu...

INTRODUCTION✋ I am Jolyn from DCHE/FT/2B/02, I am part of group Kalyani and Friends. On this page I am going to highlight my personal goals for this module that I wish to achieve by then end of the semester. Describe on what i want to improve on and what are the strategies I will use to do so. PERSONAL GOALS:💫 I would like to improve on my CAD skills on Fusion360, such as being able to create basic 3D shapes/models without the use of a tutorial. I want to come up with an exceptional prototype for this module and aim for a high grade with my teammates. STRATEGIES:✍ To improve on my CAD skills, I should be self-directed to search up for different tutorials on using different techniques to make different shapes and models. By using following those tutorials to practice on making the shapes and models on the Fusion360 in my own time. I should practice multiple times so that I can remember how to do it without referring to the tutorials. To always communicate and discuss with my teammat...

COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN (CAD)

  In this blog, I will be recording my process in refreshing my CAD skills by using the Fusion360 software to make a keychain. SKETCH: This sketch shows the base of the keychain with the border. This sketch shows the base of the keychain including the text. FINISHED SKETCH: This is the top view of the finished sketch of the keychain where the border and the text are extruded. This is the side view of the finished sketch of the keychain where the border and the text are extruded. This is the side view of the finished sketch of the keychain where the border and the text are extruded and I change the appearance/material of the border and text. REFLECTION: I enjoy using fusion 360 to make different ideas appear in a 3 dimensional model. Making the keychain refreshes my mind on the different tools such as extruding and changing of text. I was even able to remember on how to change the appearance of the keychain. I really enjoy using this software as it is quite easy to use with the help...
