In honor of #PiDay and the spirit of innovation, we have designed and build a desktop post-it note storage unit in a shape of a pie. We designed it in #SOLIWORKS and 3D printed the components with various filament colors. Enjoy!

We built a Tool Storage solution for a Mobile Workbench. The custom elements we created using different techniques including CNC, 3D printing, laser cutting, and leather molding. We digitally modeled our designs to allow for customization of the hardware shelf, created reinforced 3D prints that did not require supports, and rendered a flat pattern for our leather pouch. Free files of these designs can be found through our link in bio. #makers #makercommunity #makersgonnamake #diy #coolidea #custommade #woodworking #crafts #ournextmake #solidworks #xdesign #3dexperiencelab
