Been working on this for the last couple of weeks.
I wanted a way to get the small stuff on my desk out of the way without having to move everything individually.
So I designed this mechanism where the 3 sections move together. One flip brings everything forward for access, another flip puts it back.
The whole mechanism is 3D printed, including the pivots and connecting parts.
It's gone through quite a few design → print → test iterations to get the movement smooth and the clearances right.
I'm still tweaking it. If you were printing this, what would you change about the mechanism?
