3Dowel is a stool that you can build just with round dowels, wood screws, and 3D-printed brackets! It is born with the question, “In the near future, when 3d printers become more novel, would people build their furniture at home?”
Since I'm just a product designer and not an engineer. I decided to go a bit overboard with the screws. So any remix that reduces the amount of screws without compromising the rigidity would be awesome!
Refer to the last 2 pictures to align all the brackets in the right positions!
