Summary

*** NOTE: I put "How to Assemble" text in the Post-Printing section below.

*** Edit 6 Jun 2017: I've uploaded the new, 165mm version of the shelf system here:

I have a lot of space at the top of my desk's hutch. I used a few headphone hooks for my 25mm top, and they work great, although I wanted a safe place to store my calipers. With space at a premium, I thought to myself "I wonder if I could design a shelf from scratch, that hooks to the desk like the headphone holders, but has a platform?" This is that design.

It works great, but when I put my caliper box on the platform, it could probably use another inch back. Take a look at the depth of the platform (140mm) and the width (110mm), and if this is enough for you, great!

I will most likely be uploading a newer version of the platform that's 165mm in depth, so I don't feel like my caliper box is going to slide off the back.

Will most likely be making a tweaked/improved version of the brackets, so the center of gravity is a little improved.

As with any desk hooks, if these are a little too big, try using some stickers on the inside of the bracket where it contacts the top and/or bottom of the desk's shelf (like a shim). Some of the headphone hooks I've printed needed a very thin sticker (or no sticker at all), while others needed a more puffy sticker (maybe a millimeter in thickness) to keep it from sliding off.

If there's any interest in different configurations - like wider openings than the 25mm, or different size platforms, just let me know. This was to scratch an itch of mine, and I designed and tweaked it in about a week.
