Clip-On Honeycomb Book & Laptop Rack (Monitor Stand Companion)

Honeycomb Clip-On Shelf Rack

A vertical add-on rack that clips onto the top surface of a monitor stand or shelf, giving you a tidy spot to store books, a closed laptop, a tablet, notebooks, or anything else you want kept upright and off the desk.

I designed this as a companion piece for Erl's excellent Honeycomb Monitor Stand (link to original) — the rack matches the same honeycomb aesthetic, so the two pieces look like they belong together. It's sized to clip onto a 1.5 cm thick plywood shelf (the same dimension Erl's stand uses), but it'll work on any flat shelf around that thickness.

What it's good for

• Storing books or binders upright next to your monitor

• Holding a closed laptop vertically to save desk space

• Keeping a tablet or sketchbook within reach

• Adding a second tier of storage to any shelf without permanent mounting

Features

• Honeycomb cutout pattern — looks great and saves filament

• Clip-on design — no screws, no glue, just slides on

• Fits 1.5 cm thick shelves (same as Erl's monitor stand)

• Companion aesthetic to the original honeycomb monitor stand

Print settings (what I used)

• Material: PETG recommended (PLA works but can sag if it gets warm)

• Layer height: 0.2 mm

• Walls/perimeters: 3 (for clip strength)

• Infill: 20–30%

• Supports: None needed

Credit Big thanks to Erl (@Erl_81180) for the original Honeycomb Monitor Stand that inspired this companion piece. If you don't already have a stand, go grab theirs first — this rack is designed to pair with it.

If you print one, I'd love to see it — drop a Make and let me know how it fits your setup!
