It's March 10th, folks, and that means it's Mario Day!

To celebrate, Chinloo and I designed and built this custom rack to store our cans of beans! We used SOLIDWORKS for Makers to work out the design and fabricated the parts in the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab. 

Check out how we used SOLIDWORKS sketcher to figure out the best path for the cans:

...and a basic SOLIDWORKS Motion Study to make sure the cans would properly roll down the ramps:

We even put a clever twist on a tab and slot joint to ensure the whole unit would be extremely strong:

Check out the full video on the OurNextMake YouTube channel to see how every aspect of the design and build came together and be sure to watch until the end for an extra bit of fun!
