Just updated this under desk mount I designed for my Apple MacBook charger. I like the aesthetic of this design but I'm still not happy with the print quality because of the need for supports, and the overhangs of the curved base can be a challenge.

For my next revision I want to redesign the vents and mount points to minimize and overhangs and reduce/eliminate the need for supports.

I used PLA for this one as that's what I generally use. I've used PETG for a couple of items for outdoor use. Good point on it being less brittle.
