Customizable Desk Riser/Monitor Stand

This is a super simple way to turn basically any piece of wood into a small table. Since not all boards are the same thickness, I added a simple screw mechanism to fill in those last few millimeters so it actually fits tightly.

 

One foot takes about 2 hours and 50g of material. Most other models I found were either massive single pieces or way too bulky. If something goes wrong with this print, you can just reprint the specific part that failed instead of wasting a whole roll of filament.

 

It’s a quickly made idea I wanted to test out, but I think it has potential. If you make some specific sizes, please upload the print profile! I’d love to see a big repertoire of different settings here.

 

Feedback is very welcome! :)


How to set it u:
 

1. Adjust the Height: Click the “Foot” part and change the Y size to how tall you want it. Just remember to uncheck “uniform scale” first!

2. Set your Board Thickness: Click the “BodyHeight” part and set the Y size to match your board. I used a 0.15mm tolerance so it’s not too tight, but you can tighten it down later with the screw.

4. Line them up: Make sure all parts are on the X axis. If you moved something, select everything, right-click, and hit "Align left (-X)".

5. Connect them: Select two parts next to each other and hit "Assemble" at the top. Pick the faces as shown in the pictures and set the parallel_distance to 0. They’ll snap right together.
7. Set the parallel_distance to 0. You will see the parts snap together
9. Finish it: Do that for all the parts until it looks like a leg. Then right-click and hit “Merge” so you have one solid object you can move or copy. You can even upload it as a print profile for other people in the community :)

Boost MeI love creating simple solutions that use as little material as possible. My goal is always to design things that work the moment they leave the print bed. No glue or other Hardware. If you enjoy this approach and happen to have a boost expiring soon, I would be incredibly grateful for your support! :)
