Clamp-Down Desk Cup Holder
A functional, 3D-printable cup holder designed to clamp on to the edge of a desk using a screw operated clamping mechanism.
Features:
Desk Mounted design: Attaches to the edge of the desk, does not need permanent installation
Screw operated Clamp: Uses a threaded screw mechanism to tighten and loosedn
Modular Construction: Consists of components that can be printed separately and assembled
Caffeine Cosmetic: Has the structural formula of caffeine on it for fun
Components:
Desk cup holder body
Clamp foot
Threaded rod
.stl and .step files have been uploaded for each part, along with an assembly of the parts for reference
Assembly:
Print the individual components
Align the threaded rod with the hole at the bottom of the cup holder
Insert the threaded rod through the threaded hole in the cup holder body
Rotate the rod clockwise until the desired length protrudes below the holder.
Attach the clamp foot to the threaded rod using suitable adhesive(eg.super glue)
Allow the adhesive to set and ensure that the foot is securely attached
Position the holder against the desk edge, rotate the rod to tighten the clamp and secure the holder.
Print Testing Disclaimer:
This is my first project involving 3D-modeled threads, and I cannot guarantee that the threaded components will fit perfectly.
I currently don't have access to a 3D printer to physically test the design. The model has been designed in Onshape, but the printability and thread tolerances are yet to be verified.
If you decide to print it, I recommend testing the threaded components separately before printing the complete assembly. Feedback and suggestions are welcome!
