CalDigit TS4/TS3 under desk holder

My goal was to design a CalDigit TS4/3 under desk mount that would fit my needs:

• Multiple mounting options, under desk, desk top, wall mount etc.
• Tabs that to retain the dock but allow for easy removal should you need to remove the dock temporarily.
• Screws or a large surface for VHB tape/dual lock.
• Keep decent airflow all the way around to prevent overheating.
• Easily printable on smaller beds, so a two part design.
• No supports or advanced printing modes needed.
• Looks nice!

When mounting the two halves you should be mindful of the fitment around the dock which is quite critical, for this reason I chose to use 3M VHB tape rather than screwing to my desk. A close fit will ensure that the tabs can adequately hold the dock in place but still be able to flex out of the way when enough force is applied.

Notes:

3 perimeter walls recommended for rigidity, 20% infill works fine, but you could consider 100% (solid) for a really solid mount.

Print in vertical orientation with tabs at the top.

No supports should be necessary as hexagon overhangs should print with adequate part cooling.
