OTF Headset Holder / Headphone Holder - Under Desk

OTF Headset Holder Description

I stumbled across the OTF fidget knife while I was doing some research on fidgets and couldn't help but think I could use a similar mechanism for a headphone holder. Thus, I have created an OTF Under Desk Headset Holder!

Built for convenience so you can neatly tuck the holder underneath the desk when not in use. It also looks pretty nifty with a fade pattern on the side and some different designs for the front face of the holder!

It can take a sec to wear in when first printed. If it doesn't slide and clip perfectly straight away, try the following:

• Adjust hand position (move hand forward or backward on the cover to find the optimal position)
• More force to slide it
• Slide and clip it a bunch of times so it wears in

Features

🔹No extra parts or adhesives required for assembly, just print and clip together!
🔹Intended to be stuck to the underside of a desk with double sided tape or equivalent adhesive.
🔹The curve of the headset holder has been optimised to the average size of an adult human head so is less likely to crease and/or deform foams, cushions etc.
🔹Zero supports required for any part of this design!
🔹Two (x2) top cover options:
           → Stick on (double sided tape, 3M strip or equivalent).
           → Screw On. 5mm diameter hole for thread, 3.5mm deep, and 15mm diameter hole for screw head, 3.5mm deep.
🔹Three (x3) bottom cover options:
           → Plain Hexagon Patter
           → Split Hexagon Pattern

           → Split Square Pattern

3D Printing Advice

🔸I have added print orientation advice in the 'Read Me' in the download package
🔸Both smooth and textures beds have been tried and tested
🔸If printing in a material like ABS or ASA, I strongly recommend making sure your chamber temp is sufficiently high to minimise how brittle parts are. Both the spring and spring clips rely on elasticity of material (i.e. they bend, if the part is brittle it won't function as well). I have tried and tested in different PLA variants with good success

Demonstrations
