The Flip Dock · launching on Kickstarter

The desk that
hides itself.

You need your stuff in reach. But by 5pm your desk is a junk pile, and a drawer just means you can never find anything. That was before Flip Dock. Flip it open — everything’s visible and in reach. Flip it closed — desk clear in one second. Print it yourself, on any machine.

“This looks useful to me. Where can I find the STL?”

“My desk is a mega mess — this would help me not vacuum up my screws.”

“I’d definitely print one of these myself.”

Designed for any machine

Built to print clean and assemble easily — whatever printer you have.

Step-by-step printing & assembly guide included

Every reward comes with a clear print + assembly guide — orientation, settings, and how the parts go together. No guesswork.

  • Single-color friendly — no multi-material printer needed
  • Sized for 230×230 print beds
  • Materials: PLA or PETG
  • Assembly guide with photos, included with your files

A tolerance-compensation feature built into the parts

Every printer prints slightly differently — that’s why so many STLs end up too tight or too loose. I engineered a compensation feature that absorbs the variation between machines, so your parts snap together nicely without you dialing in perfect calibration first.

  • Minimal supports — oriented to save filament and cleanup
  • Warpage-free geometry — holds shape through printing and cooling
  • Real structural strength — deliberate load paths and wall design
  • Tolerance-tolerant assembly — fits without tight-tolerance demands
Why “flip”

Everything hard
became one flip.

The light switch. The flip phone. The ignition key. Every generation, the hard thing got easier — and it came down to one flip. Your desk is the last thing waiting its turn.

The maker

Who’s behind this

Fauzan

I’m Fauzan, a Mechanical Design Engineer — I design home appliance products for a living. I built the Flip Dock because my own desk was a constant battle: I need my small things in reach, but out in the open it’s clutter, and a drawer just trades mess for never finding anything. So I engineered it to solve both.

And because every printer is different, I designed in a tolerance-compensation feature that absorbs the variation between machines — so your parts fit nicely, not too tight, not too loose, without perfect calibration. Built like a product, not just a model.

FAQ

Questions

Will it print on my printer?
Yes. It’s designed for standard FDM printers with a 230×230 bed, prints in PLA or PETG, and is single-color friendly (no multi-material setup needed). The tolerance-compensation feature handles the variation between machines so the parts fit cleanly on yours. No printer? A friend with one or a local print service works too.
What fits inside the trays?
The Flip Dock is designed for small, frequently-used items: keys, watches, rings, AirPods, SD cards, coins, USB sticks, lighters, daily-carry stuff. Each tray comfortably holds items up to about the size of a smartphone. It’s not sized for larger tools or anything you’d normally keep in a toolbox. If it fits in your pocket or palm, it’ll fit in the trays.
Does the charger panel include a wireless charger?
No. The panel is a printable mount designed to work with any standard Qi wireless charger you already own. It includes the cutout and mounting geometry for the charger. The charging electronics are not included.
How hard is it to assemble? What hardware do I need?
The core dock assembles from printed parts using the printed hinge mechanism. No bought hardware required, and a step-by-step photo guide is included. The optional LED and magnet kits (higher tiers) include the real hardware. Everything’s covered in the guide.
What file format do I get, and how long does it take to print?
You get print-ready STL files plus the assembly guide. Exact print time depends on your printer and settings, but it’s designed to print in manageable parts rather than one giant marathon print. Full details come with the files.
Do I need special hardware?
No. The core dock is print-only. The optional Glow tiers on Kickstarter include LED strips, a remote, and magnets if you want it lit up out of the box, but every tier works on its own as a print.
When does it launch?
The Kickstarter campaign is launching soon. Sign up above and you’ll be the first to know, with access before it goes public.
Is this a finished design?
The dock is fully designed and printing. The videos on this page are the real thing. Kickstarter funds the polished file release, hardware add-ons, and the first production run.
