An organizer designed for me to learn more advanced parts in CAD as well as keep all my daily essentials in one place since I often lose track of them all the time
Finally shipped my second ever cad project!! (First one was a wire organizer but not on stardance) Designed this whole multi-part build in FreeCAD across a few weeks of weekend grinding to solve my messy desk problem since my essentials kept getting misplaced. It holds my watche, pens, bracelet, USB and Micro SD cards.
I learned a lot from this experience like threading, fastener workbench, and assembly. It took around 9 hours but it doesn’t include the time outside where I was figuring out how to do certain stuff. So I’m super happy to finally ship this!

FINAL UPDATE ON OEDO!! Omg this has been a long long journey and countless hours figuring out how things work. It was a nice learning journey as I learned assembly and threading (that was a painn) now I’m probably not going print this out because I haven’t gotten access to a 3d printer yet but when I do I’ll maybe try it out (but by then I’d probably have atleast 3 other projects lol)
I’m almost done modeling this! The middle body was rlly hard for me to model since I wanted it to have this snap lock hanger for my watch and bracelets and then it has a camfollower thing inside that hopefully if it works pushes out my usb and sd card as I turn the part
Though next session I’ll do these fixes cuz i just realized it won’t work without these and i’m too tired to do it rn
Today I modeled the camfollower (idk what it’s called but it’s supposed to pushed things out when rotated, don’t have a pic rn) and also finally figured out how to make easy male and female threads. This whole thing took a lot of crashing out on freeCAD haha but I’m finally getting somewhere! So my plan is to have the drawer, hanger for my watch & braceletes and slots for usb and my sd card.
If you’re wondering why I’m adding threads it’s because
So I also learned how to add joints in assembly so I can see it coming together. Next session I’ll finish up the cam follower thing and fix up the hanger measurements because it doesn’t quite fit and this thing is already stressing me out.
Then after those are done I just need to add a sticky note holder + a pencil holder on top and done! (+ a second drawer but I just need the same drawer piece twice for that)
I modelled the hanger part but oh my days this took so long just because FreeCad kept giving me errors lol but I’m one step closer to finishing OEDO!
Today I learned how to do threads so I can at some point screw them together ig since I’ll be printing them seperately, I also modelled the simple base platform for it
Made the drawer section of OEDO (Over-engineered desk organizer
