My Final Project

This is where I will start defining my final project idea and start to get use to the documentation process.

Project name and idea illustrated

Research

My idea is to create panels that you can easily rearrange as you wish to build a pet house that suits your needs, wills or taste.

In addition to the ease of use of these panels, you can choose different types.
For instance : depending on the weather, you will have plain panels or perforated ones to let in or protect your pet from fresh air.

This basic pet house "kit" will have several optional accessories that you can also easily add/attach to the panels (and remove).

    Accessories examples :

  • Surveillance camera activated by a movement sensor
  • food and/or drink dispenser activated by a movement sensor
  • outside light that indicates if your pet is inside
  • pot holder for a cat grass plant
  • scratch board
  • drawer underneath for storage or cleaning (if you put a litter box
  • tunnel to add some protection against the cold in winter

I've already doodled my ideas in a big A4 notebook that I will used to sketch the designs and visual ideas.

I also searched for images of existing pet items to get inspired and made a Pinterest pinboard with them.

I've decided how I wanted my pet house/box to be built and assembled.

Panels will be square and the holes to attach the accessories hexagonal to look like a honeycomb on some sides, like this 3D printed tools storage panel idea you can find on printables.
