Personal Project 3: Extending Spice Rack
A project about using CAD and 3D printing to create a product.
This project is where I used my CAD skills in SolidWorks, combined with 3D printing to create a product which works in the real world. This extending spice rack allows for efficient and accessible storage of generic spice pots.
Like many projects it starts with a problem. The spice cabinet is deep but is not efficient in space. Getting to spices in the back of the cabinet is a chore in itself.
I decided to create a system that could efficiently and accessibly store generic spice pots as shown above.
Using SolidWorks CAD I created a dummy pot to design a storage system around it.
Starting with one pot and prototyping solutions.
To creating a multi-storage extending solution that is ready to 3D print, reinforced using mechanical fasteners.
Using a push-to-slide mechanism the spice racks can accessed easily. The spices are convenient to access, replace and move around in a compact storage solution.
