Inspiration

A biology research tool used to hang hand held equipment. It's been redesigned for pens on a standard desk.

What it does

It displays pens. It rotates around a center axel.

How we built it

The stand, which contains a stationary structure (like a volcano shape), and the carousel (like an umbrella shape) which holds the pens.

Challenges we ran into

The slot joints were difficult because the laser cutter removed some of the cardboard. We had to adjust to make the joints fit.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It looks relatively clean!

What we learned

Cardboard structures can be built with no tape!

What's next for Pen Pipette Carousel

Stronger base, better precision with evenness
