Rotating Table Desk Organizer

thingiverse

This 3D design serves the purpose of making virtual learning at home more organized. The design includes a rotating table which encompasses a bin for pens/pencils, a paper folder, a slit for a calculator/scissors and, a phone charging station, an airpod case storing station, and two indents in which the user can stick on 4x6 whiteboards (this is optional, one can buy such whiteboards for cheap off of any online store). The whole concept is that everything is in one place and is easily accessible due to the component of rotation. The design is compact, and whatever the user needs or wants to be on a desk organizer is just a spin away. 1. One particular issue I went up against while making this design was trying to figure out a simple and strong design relating to the component of rotation. In other words, how do I make the top table spin without it falling off easily? It was of course easy to make it a spin, just had to a pole type of shape and create an indent into the table and boom I could be done by inserting one into the other. However, the table wouldn't be stable and any force upwards on the table would cause the whole thing to fall off. 2. If I could redesign this I would include thin breakable supports just in case. Mainly, to prevent any sort of problems and mishaps during the actual printing process. 3. 3D printing would strengthen my design by providing information regarding the balance and sturdiness of the project. I don't know if one part on the table is heavier than another part, thus there's a possibility that the table would break or bend. I created a sort of web design in most parts of my project (a bunch of holes) so that the organizer is lighter. However, without printing, I have no clue how the project itself would balance on the rotating mechanism.
