this video i'm challenging myself to take on one design brief with three different deadlines one
being six seconds six minutes and then 60 minutes now the design brief is basically a desk organizer
that absolute minimum needs to be a pencil pot and that's going to come in handy for the six
second one for the six minutes and 60 minutes i have a many extra features to add into it
i've got a phone stand that you can charge in be able to hold post-it notes be able to have
a draw within it be able to hold a usb sd and microsd and anything else that i can think of
with the design brief now covered let's jump straight into this challenge so here we are in
blender and the first one is only six seconds to give myself the smallest chance of actually
even making something here my default cube is set to 10 centimeters but with that said i'm pretty
much just going to do a simple little pot so let's see what we can do in six seconds three two one go
making myself a cube going in here inset by two extrude minus 95 there i think that was it i'll
go check it out and if i did get it in six seconds we're gonna move on to the next one which will be
six minutes i looked over the footage and it looks like i made it by the skin of my teeth now the six
minute challenge to help me out here i've got two post-it notes one has the design brief the other
one has a couple of dimensions like the angle my phone should be in what a usb is and all of that
stuff anyway now let's jump straight into blender and design whatever it is i'm gonna be making so
here we are we've got six minutes on the clock i have no idea what i'm about to make but let's
do this three two one go okay um just quick think pencil pot phone stand go from there
so we're gonna create a cube i need this cube to be 10 centimeters because 10 centimeters
pretty much a standard pencil pot my view is a little bit weird here so let's just quickly
deal with that here let's just whack that up like that brilliant then here i know that my phone
is 80 wide yep 80 wide so let's go 85 wide on the y just so it's got a little bit more
more to it we're going to apply the scale here and then i want to do let's just go and i'm trying to
think how am i going to adapt the phone stand into this part of it i'm going to just go into
edit mode we're going to add a loop cut we're going to go down here and we're going to gz
15 millimeters up i think 15 millimeters maybe not 15 millimeters yeah 15. stick
with 15. that's a good number so we're going to go here then i'm going to go with my cad transforms
i'm going to go with a rotation from this point to this point along the y and this one i've already
said at 32.5 i was did a little bit of research to make sure that i found a number that i liked
there so that's 32.5 so we need something for my phone to actually stand on so let's extrude this
out there i'm not going to extrude this out like that
yeah listen to undo undo redo here yeah i'm gonna extrude this out and my phone is 12 so i'll go for
15 because i'm about to do another little rotation here from here to there again on the y we're going
to go for 32.5 on the minus we'll add a little loop cut right there then we'll bring this one um
g z from there to there yep and i'm alright with that but let's let's bevel that let's give
that that select everything merge by distance to remove those doubles that we got going on
this is still not even a pencil part we've only got three minutes so let's delete
this face select everything shift d and alt s scale this in by -3 press s again then let's go
loop cuts let's select this like this edge bridge edge loops brilliant i'm not too happy with how
that edge is coming out though so let's select that rotate this from the edge center from there
oops i missed that edge center to edge center yep on the y we're going to go up and meet with you
double check that you are the same as well it's centered to edge center on the y
and what's happened here y and q and we're going to that there so that should yep that's looking
good okay so we got pencil pop we got a phone stand we've got to add now the extra bit so let's
go back into edit mode extra bit and that was that was key for um
yeah words are hard right this minute so g am i on the right one on this one here uh
i am indeed z let's go down by 12 that's e nope not e undo that last one redo that select face
this one extrude you out by 10 then let's grab this edge here let's bevel that because we're going to
make this 3d printable select everything merge by distance once again then we've got to add some usb
holes right here we've got two minutes left we can do this come on so usb that is 13 by 5 by
9 yes and now i'm going to go and apply the scale we'll rotate this by 90 and then we're gonna go
to here array array you by two we're gonna go by that apply that we've got cad transforms back
on g we're gonna go face center to this face center i think that's looking good
i've got one minute left uh what's going on here why is that why you not working for me
let's just do a quick clean up see that everything is going ah there we go select all shift there we
go there we go that was what was going on there you should now work you do work brilliant so we've
got usbs in there it's looking pretty good i don't know if i can add anything else to this in 57
seconds so let's see what can i i'm not too happy with this super sharp corner here so let's bevel
that in by one two millimeters i think would go quite nicely yeah that's looking better and then
anything else that i want to sort out uh no i'm i i think that is as much as i can do i've got
30 seconds on the clock maybe we should add some bevels to this because you know everything looks
better with bevels and chamfers so let's select you here and let's chamfer you up by one millimeter
and that is looking decent let's grab you chamfer you up by three millimeters and select everything
merge by distance that should be as good as we're gonna get it's a pencil pot it's a phone stand
and usb storage in six minutes i'm alright with that now a quick message from thangs as
you probably already know thanks is a community for 3d enthusiasts with over 6.7 million free
files for you to search and download additionally they're listening to your feedback and adapting
you wanted a thingiverse importing tool done you wanted better search and hashtag support
also done plus they offer two-factor authentication
all your passwords are completely encrypted individually salted and then stretched so you know
you're safe with thangs so go and check out what thanks is getting up to next by using the link
down in the description by using that link you're not only just checking out things but you're
supporting me to make more videos like these and for that thank you now jumping straight into 60
minutes now you're not going to be watching all of this that's going to be exclusive for patrons
but you're going to get a lovely time lapse of what i'm making here my patrons are going to get
all the little tips and things while i'm making this so one hour on the clock three two one go
there we have it i hope you enjoyed that and you found it useful i know i definitely found this a
great success i did not expect to make something quite so useful so quickly and don't get me wrong
i do not think you do product design in just an hour there's definitely edits that i need to do
to this for instance in the patreon version you saw that this is completely flat well it's because
i couldn't get my finger in there that is bent out now so i had to heat it up and bend it out so I'll
do a little edit before i upload it and also if you have more than one stack of pens right this
minute back here the phone's going to lean on it and that's not great so this back wall is going
to get a little edit just to be tilted out just a smidge so that doesn't happen in the future but
apart from that this turned out great if i lost you while i was making all of this and i was going
too quickly don't worry i have an entire free course and that's linked down in the description
or if you want to really kick start your designing for 3d print design within blender i have a paid
course that's coming out really soon so go check that out that's linked down in the description
a huge thank you to my patrons you guys are absolutely awesome and without you guys i
would not be able to do maker tales and if you're enjoying what i'm making here you think i'm worthy
of your support i would love to see you there too don't forget that we have a discord and that's
linked down in the description thank you for watching keep making and let the quest continue
