I wanted to create one better so I put on my engineering hat and thought about how I could improve the designs already online. After a bit of research looking through the online CAD communities I found many different cord winders of all shapes and sizes that do the job. A earphone cord winder is something the cords wrap around in order to keep them neat and stops them from tangling in your pocket. A project was set to create a earphone cord winder from concept to reality in order to hone in my skills and prepare me for applications in the future.

For the past couple of weeks I have been putting into practise my new DesignSpark Mechanical and 3D printing skills which I learnt through a FabLab workshop and during this placement. I’m half way through my 10 week internship at RS components where I am creating content for the members of DesignSpark.
