Desktop Organizer

thingiverse

The submitted design is a simple yet intricate desktop organizer which serves to keep all the daily necessities for study at home in one place. The design features a phone stand in front that can prop up phones up to 76 mm wide. In the back, there is a section that serves to hold journals, paper, diaries, notebooks; ready for easy access. Finally, there are your standard cups that are varied in height which serve to hold pens and pencils or smaller items like paper clips, erasers, sticky notes, etc. Working on this design, the biggest issue I faced was maintaining a width of 6.35 mm across the entire body of the design. This also takes into account any space that would be filled up completely by the printing. If I could redesign my organizer, I would like to create a design that isn't limited to what is printed out. Rather there are piece to the design that the student themselves could mold into their liking. As with the new learning format, it is evident that everyone will learn in their own way. So why should their organizers be restrictive? Now with 3D printing, I could physically grasp my design and how it fits in the real world rather than a virtual model. This way of analysis, would allow me to improve on the designs in ways that a virtual model can't demonstrate.
