Coming up with ideas to solve problems you don't have could be a challenge. The next best thing was to design something I would want in the realm of organization. I have a bunch of pens, pencils, markers, and anything you could want when drawing. I wanted something that I could use when organize my writing tools in a neat and fashionable manner. Here, I created a Japanese influenced desktop accessory holder.

Step 1: Inspirations

While I was 3D modeling this accessory holder, I was finding it easier for me to add some Japanese elements to it. I decided to add a Japanese themed roof to my accessory holder.

Step 2: Sketches

I sketched out the basic ideas of what I wanted in my desktop organizer. This gave me a good idea of what I'm looking for when I'm modeling my product.

Step 3: 3D Modeling Process

Here are some of the modeling step I took when 3D modeling my product.

Step 1: I started with a hexagon shape to make a base

Step 2: I used the hexagon shape as reference when building the rest of the layers

Step 3: During step 2 I thought it would cool to add a dust cover in the shape of a roof. So I did but in a Japanese styled roof.

Step 4: After everything had been blocked out, I added details with Fillets, Chamfers, and the slots so anybody could put it together easily.

Step 5: I imported a variety of office supplies from GrabCAD to give a perspective on how the product would be used. This step would of taken me a couple hours If I modeled every to size and correct shape.
