Small items have a way of taking over a workspace — pens, earbuds, glasses, sticky notes, charging accessories, and all the everyday things you reach for repeatedly throughout the day. Before long, the desk feels cluttered even when nothing major is out of place.

The Logical DeskBox was designed to bring intentional organization to everyday desk essentials while keeping everything easy to access, compact, and portable.

What It Is

DeskBox is a 100% 3D-printed, snap-together desk organizer featuring a cantilevered upper tray and a spacious main compartment below.

When the lid is opened, the tray lifts automatically, giving clear access to both storage levels. Frequently used items stay visible and within reach in the upper tray, while bulkier or less frequently accessed items are neatly stored below.

Everything is contained in a single, compact unit that can be easily picked up and moved when needed.

Why the Cantilevered Tray Matters

Traditional desk boxes often turn into deep bins where small items disappear into the bottom. DeskBox solves this by separating storage into two functional layers:

• Upper tray for daily essentials like pens, earbuds, and small accessories
• Lower compartment for larger or less frequently used items

As the lid opens, the tray lifts automatically — no digging, no stacking, and no lost items.

Designed to Work Alone or as a System

DeskBox can be used completely on its own as a compact desk organizer, but it was also designed to pair perfectly with the Logical CableNest.

When stacked on a matching-width CableNest:

• DeskBox organizes everyday desk items
• CableNest contains power adapters and cable clutter

Together, they form a clean, portable desk system — ideal for shared workspaces, home offices, and flexible setups where everything needs to be easy to move and quick to tidy.

Each component also works independently, so the system can be built up over time.

Modular Sizing

DeskBox is available in multiple widths, all sharing the same height and depth. The different sizes allow you to scale storage based on your workspace and the amount of desk essentials you keep close at hand.

Smaller sizes work well for compact setups or minimalist desks, while larger versions provide generous storage for multi-device or maker-style workspaces.

Each DeskBox width has a corresponding CableNest designed to match it for clean stacking.

Assembly & Printing

DeskBox is designed with the same principles used across LogicalPlanet projects:

• 100% 3D printable
• Snap-together design
• No hardware required
• Designed to be disassembled if needed
• Assembly is identical across all sizes

Clear diagrams are included to guide assembly, disassembly, and everyday use.

Why DeskBox Exists

DeskBox was created to solve a simple but persistent problem:
the small things on a desk rarely have a proper home.

By giving everyday essentials a compact, accessible, and intentional storage space, DeskBox helps keep workspaces calm, functional, and easy to reset — whether you work at a dedicated desk or a shared surface like a family table.

Messy power adapters and cable sprawl are one of the fastest ways to make a workspace feel chaotic—especially when that workspace isn’t permanent. The Logical CableNest was designed to solve exactly that problem.

CableNest is a ventilated cable management box that contains power adapters and cables while keeping them organized, cool, and easy to move. It’s designed to sit neatly behind a computer or notebook screen, but it works just as well anywhere you need to tame cable clutter.

What It Is

CableNest is a 100% 3D-printed, snap-together containment box for power bricks, chargers, and excess cable length. Open hex-pattern walls allow heat to escape while keeping everything visually contained and out of the way.

All CableNest models share the same height and depth, with multiple widths available to suit different setups—from compact laptop workspaces to multi-monitor desks.

How It Works

Power adapters load through the hinged split top, cables are routed out either end, and the ventilated walls allow heat to escape during use.
Once closed, CableNest keeps cables organized, concealed, and accessible when needed.

Because everything is contained in a single unit, the entire setup can be picked up and moved—ideal for shared tables, hot-desking, or temporary workspaces.

In Use

Placed behind a monitor or notebook, CableNest largely disappears from view while still keeping power accessible. Opening the top provides immediate access to adapters and cables without unplugging anything.

CableNest is equally at home in:

• Shared family workspaces
• Home offices
• Maker desks
• Temporary or mobile setups

---

Modular by Design

CableNest can be used entirely on its own, or paired with the optional Logical DeskBox, which sits neatly on top and adds tool and desk-accessory storage. Together, they form a compact, portable desk system—but each component also works independently.

Assembly & Printing

• 100% 3D printable
• Snap-together design
• No hardware required
• Assembly is identical across all sizes

Detailed assembly, disassembly, and usage diagrams are included with the download.

Sizes Available

CableNest is available in multiple widths, all sharing the same height and depth.
Different widths allow you to scale the system based on the number of power adapters and cables in your setup.

Note: Listings show a representative size. Various sizes are available.

Why CableNest Exists

CableNest was designed around a simple idea:
power management shouldn’t force you into a permanent desk.

By containing cables in a ventilated, movable box, CableNest helps keep workspaces tidy without sacrificing flexibility.

What I ended up with is this fully 3D-printed, modular wall-mounted spool storage system. It’s snap-together, it’s expandable in all directions, and the spool trays actually collapse up into the wall assembly when I need my wall space back. It’s been a game changer in my workspace.

What This Is

This system is designed to hold standard 1 kg filament spools and let you build as much storage as you need without a bunch of screws, brackets, or bulky racks. The trays are printed parts that rotate up into their housings, creating a compact footprint while still being easy to access. The rail system makes it easy to keep multiple rows aligned and expandable.

It’s perfect for:

• Print farms
• Compact workshops
• Maker spaces
• Anyone who hates tangled filament and messy shelves

How It Works

1. Build the Walls
   Snap the wall components together — they key into each other so you know everything is aligned properly.
2. Assemble the Trays
   Each tray part has a keyed rotation so it sits square in the wall assembly and can pivot up or down smoothly.
3. Mount to Rails
   Slide the assembled trays onto the rail system. You can add more rails and spacers to widen or stack more rows.
4. Collapse for Space
   Want the wall back? Just rotate the trays upward flush against the wall rails.

This system isn’t locked into any particular number of spools — you add as many as you like by linking rails and adding spacers.

Printing Notes

As with most of my functional designs, strong walls and good infill give the best results. I’ve been printing these in PLA with the following general settings:

The trays and rails print reliably without fiddly supports, which makes batch printing them for a larger system quick and predictable.

I hope this helps you get a better handle on spool storage — it’s made a big difference in my shop.
