Grade 10

Gear fidget

The shell is printed in two pieces and two gears are printed. The gears sit snugly in between the two shells and the shells lock together.
A small fidget toy with two interlocked gears encased in a shell which can be supn infinitely.
Anyone who likes to fidget.

Toothpaste Clip

The clip clamps onto the end of the tube and pushes all the toothpaste to the top as it is slid up.
When a tube of toothpaste is nearing empty, the toothpaste becomes more difficult to get out and often goes to waste, costing more money.
This clip can be used when the toothpaste tube is almost empty.
The clip can be clipped onto the toothpaste tube.
A small clip that pushes out toothpaste from the bottom of the tube.
Everyone who uses toothpaste from a regular tube can use this.

Phone Stand

The phone leans against the back of the stand and a block stops it from sliding down.
Phones won't stay propped up on their own which is inconvenient when you are working at a desk and you need to see the screen.
This can be used whenever the phone needs to be propped up.
On a desk, table, or similar surfaces.
Something to rest your phone on which holds it at an angle so you can see it at a desk.
Anyone with a cell phone can use this.

Guitar rack

The rack will have slots for the instruments' necks to rest in and a base to hold them upright. The instruments will be standing up parallel to each other.
Instruments are quite fragile and also take up lots of space to store. They can't be left on the floor but having a solo stand for each instrument would take up too much space
Anytime the instruments are not in use.
On the floor in an indoor room
A self-standing rack to hold multiple guitars and similar instruments
Anyone with multiple guitars to store

Ukulele shelf mount

Two pieces will be printed: the shelf clip and the instrument hook. They will then be glued together to create
Ukuleles should not be littered across the floor, but there is not often any other place to put them especially when drilling into walls for typical instrument wall mounts is not an option.
Whenever the ukulele is not in use.
In any indoor room with a shelf.
A clip that sits on a shelf with two prongs that stick out for the ukulele to hang from.
Anyone with ukuleles to store that doesn't want to drill into a wall.
