mechanical pocket organizer

overview :

this project is a little pocket organizer to store all the little things you carry without getting them muddled up!

the organizer has some element of modularity as the barriers used to separate items can be removed and replaced magnetically to adhere to different sized objects.

feel free to remix the design if you want to customize it's aesthetics, or to make it more modular or whatever you can think of!

why a pocket organizer? :

this project actually has viability in my day-to-day life because i always have random things in my pocket that i have to dig through before reaching what i actually need, (most likely my headphones :D) so organizing my pockets with something i designed myself is a cool workaround to my problem!

functionality :

• item storage

• keyring attachability

• notebook holder

• card holder

• holder for loose items (like loose headphones)

how to use :

the pocket organizer's functions are relatively straightforward.

to open the organizer, open the latch locks and push upwards on the push levers to slide the inner case upwards.

the barriers can be replaced easily because they're magnetic - so just hot swap them as you please!

as for the card and notebook holders, just slide them in and friction will hold them together!

to customise to your liking, wrap any keychain or whatever you please (carabiners etc.) around the keyring hole :)

pocket organizer build requirements :

• 1 x card holder

• 1 x outer case

• 1 x notebook holder

• 2 x latch locks

• 1 x inner case

• 2 x push levers

• 0-7 x barriers (customizable up to 7 barriers)

• 7-14 x 1mm x 1mm x 25mm cuboid magnets (7 is base, add an extra magnet per barrier you'll print)

pocket organizer build requirements :

glue 7 x 1mm x 1mm x 25mm cuboid magnets into each slot on the inner case.

position the inner case inside the outer case, then glue push levers to each side of the inner case through the holes on the side of the outer case.

glue the card holder flush with the top of the outer case.

glue the notebook holder flush with the back of the outer case.

friction fit both latch locks on each side of the outer case.

glue a 1mm x 1mm x 25mm cuboid magnet into the bottom slot of the barrier (repeat for the number of barriers you printed)

customize the barrier orientation to your liking!
