Organization-Ship is an original desk organizer arranged in the shape of a sailboat, where each component takes on a function.
Each element of the ship is given a twist in order to organize an office object on it:
- The floor of the boat as a delineated tray for organizing pens or pencils.
- The left mast with magnetized sail for metal elements. At the top it also has a beveled flag in the shape of a blade.
- The central mast with tower to insert the roll of adhesive tape and close it with a flag at the top.
- The right mast with sail where you can stick the Post-It pad and notes.
- The body of the boat to store larger objects and papers in addition to functioning as a secret compartment by moving the trays over it.
This creative arrangement is not only eye-catching but also very functional, because with just a few constructive elements arranged in a simple way, all the common elements that can be found on a desk can be arranged.
Printing To organize first you have to print all the models that make up the boat, print each stl (you only have to repeat the sail since there are two). No model needs supports for printing, so keep in mind that some of them are printed with inverted orientation like the flag or the cut.
I printed using 0.2 mm layer height, 20% infill and 0.5 mm line width. Make sure you have at least 4 top layers to cover the fill area well. In my case, I used a white PLA as it looks better on my office but you could use a wood finish PLA or even print each part in one color.
Assembly Tolerances have been left to ensure that each part can fit snugly but are not tight enough for a forced fit. You will therefore have to glue each part together:
- The sails to the end masts and the cut to the left mast.
- The platform to the tower mast.
- The two bases to form the body of the boat.
- The masts to the holes of the corresponding trays.
Gluing the two trays is optional as they could be left separately to be able to establish another configuration. The flag on the top of the tower is not glued as it is removed to insert the new tape and inserted to act as a stopper.
To make a magnetized sail where you could attach paper clips or other metallic elements, glue a sheet of magnet cut to the shape of the sail.
