Many things made with 3D printers are not useful. *This thing is useful.* It holds Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) securely in position for testing.
Things do not have to be complicated. This thing was designed to be printed on the cheapest usable 3D printer available ($100 Black Friday Deal), using an inexpensive filament, and still produce superb, repeatable results. This design requires a bit of 1/4-20 hardware (available at local hardware store) and a few thermoplastic inserts (available online). The baseplate can be machined or purchased -- but I chose to machine mine for this contest.
This is a precision PCB test piece and organizer for crowded desktops. It consists of a combination of a machined baseplate, purchased adjustable arm, 3D printed PCB holders, 3D printed board mounts, 3D printed power supply holder, 3D printed power supply input, etc...
The baseplate can sit on 4/6" risers to allow underplate mounting of a power supply
