2 sections
- the cubby itself
- the outer structure it attaches to.
The cubby itself:
front panel
channel for led wire to run through, and base of the structure
side view
top view
female hole for backing or another module to slot in
dowel for connecting 2 modules together
secondary backing module
female holes for male walls to slot in
wall for drawer
front view of many drawers connected
submersed cable channel
female hole for another backing module
female hole for dowel to connect w thing
hollow, so that leds can be put inside, and cable can be fed through that cable channel.
LED panel
Side view
Front view
LED Panel
pogo pin connector
actual cubby space
cable that connects usbc male connector to LEDs size is exaggerated to make clear what im saying
push latch mechanism https://www.reddit.com/r/mechanical_gifs/comments/jx7lei/push_latch_mechanism/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAqWdhAVNI8
idea is - spring stores energy when i slot the thing in, so when I press on the thing later to open it back up, spring reaches a point where the energy can be released and then it springs forward, opening my drawer.
in this design, i take the port with it, because i dont think i can spring forward something that is actually connected to a usbc port at the time. i dont need the spring to move it a ton, i just need it to move the whole system enough that i can get my fingers into the cubby, so i can pull the cubby fully open, disconnecting it from the usbc port.
pogo pin female connector (supplies power to leds)
that is a nice part of using a push push mechanism it locks down until you press in on it
the outer structure
view of them connected:
view of individual pieces:
top view of panel:
7in x 7in, adjustable via editing a variable in cad program.
top view of adapter
can lead to:
which then allows for:
drawer can be inserted in this hole in the middle
once drawer is inserted, just looks like:
led panel
because panel section extends outside of just that enclosed area. front panel is wider and taller than the drawer’s insides.
this means that tiling many of them together looks like:
led panel
led panel
led panel
hopefully as little gap as possible between the led panels, so it can look close to a uniform wall, that you can just press on to release a cubby.
