Semi-Universal Desk Mount System

Created June 20, 2026

What started as "My mini vice doesn't stay put and my robot arm phone holder wants to tip over" has evolved into an iterative design project costing many hours of sleep (but surprisingly little filament).

This project aims to make an increasingly universal mounting system that will accommodate these and other devices with minimal adaptation. The mount already adds missing functionality like anchoring and swiveling, but I already have plans for significant improvements. Currently I've been able to keep the prototype 100% 3d printed, hardware free, and glue free.

Tools: Tinkercad, PILED 3D CAD MULTITOOL, Hand Tools (Minimal), OBS Studio (Recording / Monitoring), Endoscope Nozzle Cameras (2), A Lot of Patience, Pete (P2S), Sunlu PLA+, 3DHOJOR PLA Pro
