RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Ethnographic research was conducted to find out on student user behaviors, how they organize their desk, what are the items they keep on their desk, and problems of keeping them clean.

There are many desk organizers that are developed for solving this issue, so it is somewhat challenge to come up with anything new for the user. Also, there are many challenges building an object using a 3D printer with its limitations.
