🔜 playDesk3 Mini is almost ready!
Hey everyone! As part of a colab with a partner maker I finished developing playDesk3 Mini! Check out the 3D spin below, it gets the awesome looks of playDesk2, in a smaller package.
Great looks, even better improvements!
Overkill Anchors
They combine the unmatched structural rigidity of inserts plus the overkill tensile strength of the M6 bolt+tNut connection!
Easier Assembly
Fewer Parts – 1 Person – 1 Tool.
All these changes improve the functionality, while also increasing the strength and lifespan and also simplifying the manufacturing process.
This is part of a colab, with Virutas Uruguay and we are offering this as a finished product. We’ll use the experience and feedback to improve the design before adding it to ModMaker for global availability.
Hope you like it!
📅 Update 2025-07-21 – Adding accessories + Prototype on the way!
I’m designing some accessories to include in a premium version. All of them can be hooked to the left or right side of the desk.
- Side brackets to save desk surface if you have a full-sized desktop gaming PC.
- Headphones hanging hook
- Cup holder
- My wild side is also considering a military-net side shelf for holding joysticks, VR and the stuff you don’t want falling off but I’m getting some push-back from my conservative friends.
Check out the first 3 additions ⬇️
Finally, with David from Virutas Uruguay we are about to make first prototype.

📅 Update 2025-07-22 – The connectors arrived!
Rafix and T-Nut connectors
The 9×6 feet MDF board should be arriving today. Next up: Measure its thickness and manually adjust the plan to the real-world board spec (no ModMaker yet for playDesk 3 Mini).
📅 Update 2025-07-30 – The board arrived – Milling the inserts tester!
The MDF board arrived so we tested the inserts against that board with the ModMaker tester. We’ll go for the 0.2 mm tight inserts gap and cut the prototype very soon!
