Upcycled Clip-on Headphone Stand/rest Made From a Printer Frame

It always bothers me greatly everytime I trip on the cable of my prized headphones, causing damage to my investment. So I decided to design a simple, easy, clippable desk headphone stand. It should be able to clip onto most desks and is made from a single piece of sheet metal. I think the result looks sleek, minimal and should merge nicely with any setup. This was made as part of a project for my Industrial Design course at Monash University, the aim was to make a personalised product from components taken from a printer; I repurposed the sheet metal frame within the printer to produce my end-product. The university project was coined "Redesign" - designing products from reused materials in ways that can also be later reused - which is basically a strategy for incorporating upcycling into industrial design processes. This product works well for me, and hopefully it will work for you too, enjoy! :)
All dimensions in MM.

Step 1: WHAT YOU WILL NEED

I sourced the sheetmetal from a printer (which I flattened), you may wish to also consider upcycling the metal from an existing source.

Step 2: FIRST CUT

Here we need to cut in a profile that will allow us to bend the lower flange that holds onto the table. You can also laser cut this part if you have access to one!

Step 3: BEND

Here I bend the single piece of metal to the required shape, I used a table edge, a bit of force and a hammer. Of course, you may wish to do this step using more appropriate methods.

Step 4: ADDITIONAL STRENGTHINING

Here I created a duplicate piece of sheet metal from the first step, and glued it on top of the cut piece of sheet metal, this gave it additional strength as i was using a fairly thin stock (as it was sourced from a printer). This step is not required! You may also like to experiment with adding different cutouts and shapes to the top layer.
