outofsight - hidden desk storage solution

thingiverse

Here's my submission to Fusion 360 and Thingiverse's Digital Design for Physical Objects Challenge. outofsight is a unique work space organizer that utilizes the unseen space a desk occupies. It allows the user to declutter their desk surface by placing things in hidden containers that clamp onto the back or sides of the desk. Built with a linear slider, a simple pull on the tab will bring up the container and the things inside. In addition to providing much-needed storage for compact work spaces with a minimal look, outofsight can be used to limit distractions caused by phones and other devices by keeping them away from the desk surface and below the desk horizon. outofsight comes in two sizes that perfectly fit smartphones, pens, small journals, calculators, and tons of other things that live on your desk. For a custom size container, simply split the body and extrude to your desire in Fusion 360. The containers require the desk to be at least 1 1/8" (2.9 cm) away from the wall, although their thickness' can be easily modified in Fusion 360. The clamp can be adjusted to work with any desk thickness and it's currently designed to work with desks that are 1-1 1/8" thick (2.5-2.9 cm.) Feel free to leave any comments on what improvements I can make to the design, thanks!
