Charmed I’mDesign

Sure process
Opportunity statement/ first 3 sketches
I am creating a charm for Drake
Garrett and he enjoys traveling and
he also enjoys to play tennis and
football. He likes to learn about
cars and automotives. I took this
and then used this to create some
basic sketches on what I think
would be a good charm design for
him.
Design statement
My goal is to create something that would portray at least one of my partners
interests. What he specifically told me was that he enjoyed “ traveling, cars or
automotives, tennis, and football.” I have a plan to have a larger object
showing one of his interests. Then having his name somewhere on the charm
to make it more custom to the person. Then I wanted to have travel on the top
and something that involves travel. Having a hole on the corner somewhere so
that it can hang from something so it can be a charm.
Criteria
The design must include either a hole to accept a ball chain or other
attachment system. This showing a rope being able to go through the
hole and thus would be able to be able to be attached.

The charm must allow easy attachment to a backpack (or luggage). This
is showing that the charm is able to be attached to any kind of luggage,
in this example a computer case.

An edge distance of at least 0.25 inches must be maintained between

the edge of the charm and any hole or slot
Constraints
The charm (or luggage tag) will be manufactured using
an additive manufacturing process (3D printing). You
can see the final product was 3-D printed by the shape
of it.

The charm (or luggage tag) will be manufactured from

PLA. You can see in the picture is was printed using PLA.
reiteration
After realising that I had went way to
ambitious for myself for this project
and I did not have the skill set yet to
successfully make my other designs I
decided to make some simpler but still
appropriate to the customer designs
that I thought I actually had the skill
range for. I ended up with these four
designs and went with the tennis one
with the little shapes at the top.
Where it would be a 1x 1x 3x
Multiview Drawing

Here you can see the multiview draw and the

dimensions of it which are constrain into that fact
that the constraint is due to limitations in
production, the maximum volume of material is 3
cubic inches.
