Two-in-one phone and material holder

thingiverse

I had to design a desktop item useful to those partaking in virtual learning under the constraints that the item had to be able to be 3D printed and be no larger than 4” x 4” x 4”. My design will help students with virtual learning because I constructed a two-in-one phone and useful materials holder. To explain, not only can you prop up your phone on my design, but you can store sticky notes, paperclips, erasers, pencils, pens, and more. While constructing my design, the main issue I came across was the fact that my original design would not be able to be successfully 3D printed due to the lack of support on the second level. I had to fix this by turning the second container into a wedge instead of a rectangular prism. If I could redesign this again, I would eliminate the cell phone holder because I think my space was too limited to include it. 3D printing helps my design because it is an inexpensive and relatively easy way to test and evaluate my design.
