Desk Organizer with Index Card Slot and Phone Stand

thingiverse

Aloha, My name is Edwin, and this is my entry for the desk organizer creative design challenge. I have designed a table-top organizer that has all the features one might need for their tools and tasks all in one. There are two cups for pens, pencils, scissors, rulers, and almost anything else you could possibly need for the day. There is also a slot for an index card or a piece of paper similar in size, where you can slide in a checklist to keep track of the day's tasks. If you choose to spin the organizer around, there is also a phone stand on the opposite side, that will fit most standard and large phones, all the way up to the Galaxy S20, currently one of the largest phones on the market. For convenience, there is also a carrying handle on the top so you can take this organizer wherever your studies take you! During my design, I was faced with the challenges that Fusion 360 was an entirely new software for me and I was required to relearn most of the controls and functions with little prior knowledge of the UI or it's functions. If I could redesign this again, I would attempt to create a circular indentation on phone charger side of the organizer, where one could place a generic wireless charging pad, to top up on charge while working. I believe that 3d printing would help strengthen my design because having it as one solid piece of print or even a hexagonal support system inside the print for weight reduction would be a big step up from simply having it modeled on a software.
