The desktop computer case has always lacked the degree of mobility since its birth. Cases are also one of the biggest areas for customization for the consumer. The idea of building a case with mobility built in, limits the area of customization, thus the idea of building an additional component was thought of. The “cart” like design allows consumers to still choose from the wide range of cases, while also purchasing a cost effective “cart” that gives the case of their choosing a mobility factor. This freedom is given by using a contoured bottom with sled like tendencies, and a handle on the front to grab. The footprint of this cart is wide enough for the biggest cases on the market, while also keeping itself hidden under smaller cases. Rubber pads secure the case onto the cart, guaranteeing a no slip grip.
Assumptions :
My design is based off the assumption that everyone has a traditional rectangular computer case, that is located on the floor. The footprint of the case is also 8” x 13.50” within 1/2” in either direction.
Throughout the drawing portion of this project, I learned how to use the drawing template within Solidworks. Adding dimensions to my model and filling out the data on the bottom of the sheet with the correct tolerances. This also completes the journey, through the design process which for better or for worse was very educational and insightful. In the future when using the design process, I might take certain areas a little serious than others, to produce what I think works best in my mind.
Your drawings are clean and professional, I liked your Gantt chart structure as well. If I had to make one complaint it would be that I think the assumptions would be easier to follow in paragraph form.
I liked reading through your final iteration of the project. I think your problem statement sums up your design nicely. Your drawings could be aligned a little better.
