Hey Blog, I made two versions of the previously discussed AirPod case holder. One is designed for a two finger release and the other is designed for one. I’ll probably use the one finger design because it’s less breakable. I made two sloping clips that are built into the back, and each clip will go into a separate pocket so the middle barrier will prevent the case from sliding horizontally when in position.

I made it pretty quick and enjoyed the process (I might even completely redesign it afterwards.) I’m also hyped to have the finished product and be able to use it.

The dimensions of the case itself are 44.3 mm wide, 21.3 mm thick and 53.5 mm tall. My design (measuring from the outside) is 50 mm wide, 28 mm thick and 62 mm tall. The walls are 2 mm thick and the case won’t fit too snug, but I might change that after a test print. The rest of the dimensions, like where it was cut/the size of the clips, is somewhat arbitrary/eyeballed.

I’m a big music fan and spend a lot of my time listing to music throughout the day. My go to headphones are Apple’s AirPods. I love em. However I only have two storage locations for their handy dandy carrying case in my backpack.

In the video below you can see that those options are 1) at the bottom of the smaller pocket of the backpack where I have to rummage for them while they get more dirty each day, or 2) in the small pencil pouch that I have to dig inside of in attempt to slide them out. Neither are ideal, so my plan is to make a “case” for them that clips onto the inside pouch of my backpack for easy access. The case will have a slot down the middle and on the bottom where I will be able to easily pop/slide the AirPods out each time.

There are two reasons this blog post is “late”. I was on vacation and didn’t want to think about it, and I was having trouble coming up with a solution to a problem that would genuinely benefit my everyday life. At least I got the extra credit so it evened out.

Hey blog goers, this week I made some new 3D models of various objects using a software called Fusion 360. Compared to FreeCAD, Fusion 360 is much simpler/less frustrating to use, and compared to tinker CAD it allows for a lot more creativity in design. I didn’t love or hate it, but I did like it better than the other two programs we used. Anyways, making these objects was pretty easy and didn’t take long, so here they are 🙂
