The entire process of began with the idea to construct a carrier for the USBs which randomly were placed around the room– easy to get lost. We first began brainstorming ideas on which would be the most effective tool which could also serve for different purposes. We came up with different designs. The first being a mobile stand which had the shape of a cross. There would be hooks for the USBs, but we figured the plastic wouldn’t provide a strong base (since we had to print it on the 3D printer), therefore, that idea was thrown out. The third idea which was proposed was a heart which would be attached the wall with hooks, but that was immobile which wouldn’t come in handy. The third idea was proposed: a small box with hooks on the back so it could hang and easily be removed from the metal cage. Hooks would be placed on the outside of the box so that the USBs could hang there, and small miscellaneous items could also be placed inside of the box if desired.
The process of building the box on SketchUp wasn’t as easy as it seemed. We struggled with creating all the details and makings things work. However, we pulled through and we created the SketchUp. Before we began creating our SketchUp we had to take measurements, so that the hooks would fall in the right places on the cage. At the end, we made the box a turquoise blue.
