Second design project ideas

Loop fidget toy

Who

Anyone who likes to fidget

What

A small, quiet fidget toy to carry around in a pencil case

Where

In a pencil case when stored, in the user's hands at school

When

At school whenever the user wants to use it.

Why

Fidgeting can help improve attention, so something small and cheap that can be kept at school would be very convenient.

How

Two peanut-shaped pieces are printed and then attached using key rings to create an infinitely flippable system

Ukulele shelf mount

Who

Anyone with ukuleles to store that doesn't want to drill into a wall.

What

A clip that sits on a shelf with two prongs that stick out for the ukulele to hang from.

Where

In any indoor room with a shelf.

When

Whenever the ukulele is not in use.

Why

Ukuleles should not be littered across the floor, but there is not often any other place to put them especially when drilling into walls for typical instrument wall mounts is not an option.

How

Two pieces will be printed: the shelf clip and the instrument hook. They will then be glued together to create

Guitar rack

Who

Anyone with multiple guitars to store

What

A self-standing rack to hold multiple guitars and similar instruments

Where

On the floor in an indoor room

When

Anytime the instruments are not in use.

Why

Instruments are quite fragile and also take up lots of space to store. They can't be left on the floor but having a solo stand for each instrument would take up too much space

How

The rack will have slots for the instruments' necks to rest in and a base to hold them upright. The instruments will be standing up parallel to each other.

Phone Stand

Who

Anyone with a cell phone can use this.

What

Something to rest your phone on which holds it at an angle so you can see it at a desk.

Where

On a desk, table, or similar surfaces.

When

This can be used whenever the phone needs to be propped up.

Why

Phones won't stay propped up on their own which is inconvenient when you are working at a desk and you need to see the screen.

How

The phone leans against the back of the stand and a block stops it from sliding down.

Toothpaste Clip

Who

Everyone who uses toothpaste from a regular tube can use this.

What

A small clip that pushes out toothpaste from the bottom of the tube.

Where

The clip can be clipped onto the toothpaste tube.

When

This clip can be used when the toothpaste tube is almost empty.

Why

When a tube of toothpaste is nearing empty, the toothpaste becomes more difficult to get out and often goes to waste, costing more money.

How

The clip clamps onto the end of the tube and pushes all the toothpaste to the top as it is slid up.

Gear fidget

Who

Anyone who likes to fidget.

What

A small fidget toy with two interlocked gears encased in a shell which can be supn infinitely.

Where

In a pencil case when stored, in the user's hands at school

When

At school whenever the user wants to use it.

Why

Fidgeting can help improve attention, so something small and cheap that can be kept at school would be very convenient.

How

The shell is printed in two pieces and two gears are printed. The gears sit snugly in between the two shells and the shells lock together.
