I volunteer as a kid coach in Ihyaa academy in which I help kids explore the field of media production especially the filmmaking and designing process.

Revers studio is the name my kids choose for our team and somehow we started to build an actual small studio within the academy for them. So as you can see in the picture to the right we have number of shelves organized together to be used as a storage unit. Therfore, my idea is to create a double-edge shelves/whiteboard in order to make a good use of the small area we have.

My super team.

The deisgn for Reverse studio.

The front of the double edge as storage unit.

The back of the double edge as a WhiteBoard for brainstorming.

The design process

Start by creating the side.

duplicate the component then use the joint feature -don't just move it- to give a space between them. this really important to be able to make the design parametric

use project in order to choose the exact line you want to draw on.

start creating the shelves

extrude the shelves but to only the back of the unit.

make a room for the joints.

creating the fingers from on side.

choose midconstruction plan and mirror the fingers to the other side.

choosee combine to make the slots.

add 4 wheels

The design parameters.

a final parametric design.

Edits due to Covid-19

Due to the circumstance of Covid-19 we weren't able to access the our Router machine till October and we have a limited size of wood sheet that my storage unit wouldn't fit, So I edit my design parameters and change my storage units to a Shoes cabinet

Shoes Cabinet.

Flattening the design

Start by laying all of my design part flat for preparing for CNC.

create a box to simulate the stock I'm going to use.

Make a planner joint connection between the part and the box.

Move the part to fit inside the borders of the stock.

arrange all of the parts following the same steps.

Creating the Dogebone fillets

Due to the roundness of the drill bit it can't create the inside corner sharp edges. so we have to create a dog bone fillet to smooth the manufacture operation.
instead of doing this manually I have downloade this online Dogbone Addin to automate the process
