Monitor Riser/ AMS Riser Modern with Retro Charm

March 6, 2025
Description
Embracing a Modern Aesthetic with a Touch of Retro Charm. This project began with the creative idea of merging a stylish monitor riser with a practical storage solution to tackle office clutter, while also incorporating a dedicated charging station for my iPhone and AirPods. The design elevates my workspace and adds a nostalgic flair that enhances both functionality and visual appeal, creating functional space.
Inspiration:
Constantly having a disorganised office, I seriously needed to sort myself out.
Only three months into learning 3D design, which I self-taught on YouTube with Fushion 360, I made my first mission to make my office look organised and pretty! (Be gentle with me; I'm sure there are better and easier ways to do things, hoping in time to learn them)
Features:
- Ergonomic Design by raising your monitor to a more comfortable position and reducing neck strain during long hours of work
- Integrated and adaptable storage,.Equipped with Shelves and drawers, it keeps your workspace tidy by organising your office supplies, notes, or other essentials, ensuring everything you need is within reach.
- Built-in Wireless Charging
Integrated wireless charging for compatible iPhones and AirPods, enabling hassle-free power-ups. Just place your devices on the designated charging area for a quick boost.
USB Ports**: Additional access for USB cords at the rear allow for easy connection and charging of other devices, keeping your desk clutter-free while ensuring all your gadgets stay powered.
Sturdy Construction crafted from high-quality PLA material, known for its impressive durability and strength. It offers reliable support for monitors of all sizes, ensuring stability and balance whether you're working in a home office or a professional environment.
- Sleek Aesthetics choose your colours to complement different decor styles, it blends functionality with modern design.
Optional extras needed:
If you want to make use of the built-in wireless charging, you will need to purchase a Magsafe charger and Apple watch disk charger
A piece of wood, size depending on how many modules you wish to use. I was fortunate to have a friend assist me with cutting a perfect piece and rounding my edges to match the design. My first plan was to purchase a floating shelf from the local hardware store. As you can see, it did not go to waste, and it became the top for the AMS riser. The joy of designing I soon discovered there are a lot of prototypes to get things right. Luckily for me, I did not waste them and just kept extending lol.
UPDATE
The box with the large draw you see in the images has been uploaded now. When putting everything together, I had a brilliant idea to add magnets that would slot in from the bottom. The idea is that this will keep all the pieces snug together to stop any movement and will continue to update the files with the option with Magnets.
Any suggestions for add-on pieces are always welcome !
The Draw for the Pen Holder has been updated to V2 to allow more clearance
