1. Unit 1 Design Challenge: Spool Holder

3. Define the Problem
Problem: We need something to hold the spools of plastic

4. Do background research
What information would we need to know?

5. Specify requirements Must fit a normal spool of plastic
Uses the least amount of plastic possible
Can use with 608 bearings
Bonus if you don’t use bearings

6. Brainstorm, Evaluate and Choose
Come up with as many ideas as you can: Quantity over quality
Combine ideas
Evaluate and pick one
For your notebooks, I should see evidence of a few different ideas, list or pictures

7. Develop a Solution
Each person in your group is going to use CAD (Tinkercad or Inventor) to design a solution.
As a group, you will decide which one it the best, and we will 3D print one per group.
Use a decision matric to decide the best, if you can agree
For your notebooks, either make a quick sketch of your final design or print a picture of your cad model

8. Test Solution
Print it.

9. After it is printed, evaluate it.
How effective was your solution?
Recommended improvements
How would you optimize/redesign is you could start over?
General Recommendations.

10. Communicate results
Gallery walk when we are done.
