About Organizers
Printing your own desk organizer has one big advantage over buying one: you decide the shape, and you simply print more cups later. The organizers in this category are modular. Single cups slide together with a dovetail, in any direction, with no glue or screws.
The Honeycomb Desk Set consists of 52 mm hexagonal cups in three heights (40, 70 and 100 mm) and a ready-made cluster of seven. Tall cups for pens and scissors, low ones for paper clips, erasers and USB sticks. It also works on a workbench for bits and small screwdrivers, or on a dressing table for brushes.
Every part is digitally checked for printability, prints without supports and has a wall exactly 4 lines thick with a 0.4 mm nozzle. Print them in different colours and you can see at a glance where everything is.
Frequently asked questions
What does modular mean for an organizer?
The organizer is made of separate pieces that connect together. With the Honeycomb Desk Set you slide hexagonal cups together with a dovetail and extend the set whenever you like.
Do I need to glue the cups?
No. The dovetail has 0.2 mm clearance per side and holds by friction. If it is too tight, sand it lightly or set horizontal expansion to -0.05 mm in your slicer.
How long does it take to print?
That depends on your printer and speed. The single cups are small (18 to 40 cm³) and print fastest; the cluster of seven is the largest part.
