Multi-Purpose Desk Organizer

thingiverse

My design is supposed to help keep a few materials a student might need to use interchangeably organized. It's a phone stand with a hole for a charger, with a pencil holder in the back, places to wrap up headphones on the sides, and another place to put the writing utensil you are currently using or erasers in the front. I designed this because I listen to music while doing work, so I prop my phone up on my computer or just leave it lying near me, but this way you can easily skip songs or pause them. The pencil holder is because every time I have to use one I rummage around in my bag to find it and then don't have a place to put it if I need to put it down, but still need to use it again soon. The other few things were parts I figured would be easy to add, not take up space, and could be useful depending on the person. I didn't really face many problems in coming up with this design. My computer is slow so that was annoying, and I had to play around with the shapes a lot since there were some things I wanted to do that I hadn't in Tinkercad before. I just continued working on it until I got what I wanted to overcome these issues. If I were to redesign it, I would try to add softer edges to many of the parts, and maybe a divider in the pencil holder so you could have one place for pens and one for pencils or something like that. 3D printing could strengthen my design by making it real, and since it isn't a big item 3D printing would be easier than trying to make it out of other materials.
