My original plan was to make a star shaped part, but I ran into issues with getting it to print properly because there were no flat sides. It was also difficult to get the parts to mate properly since a single link took multiple parts. Then, the roller chain had to be under 20mm so this design was difficult to add holes and extrusions that were strong enough after printing to stand on their own.

Desktop Topper - (11/9/2023)
Objectives:
Objectives:
Must be designed in SolidWorks
Prepared in a slicer for additive manufacturing
3D printed in PLA filament
The object cannot take up more space than a 80mm sphere
Must create a ring to fit over the vertical monitor support using a caliper to measure the diameter of the support
Test prints are required of the ring support before full prints

Printing the Desk Topper and Test Prints for Ring Support
Printing the Desk Topper and Test Prints for Ring Support
Realized after printing that I messed up radius and diameter, reprinted with the correct size (green)
The ring support was too small, need to adjust to fit the pole
Final working test print with good tolerance
Testing ring support on the pole and it fits nicely
