Desk shelf or no desk shelf? Which setup looks better?

I recently removed my desk shelf and can’t decide which setup looks better.
Photo 1: With desk shelf
Photo 2: Without desk shelf
I’m aiming for a clean, modern workspace for both productivity and photography/content creation.
Which one do you prefer, and why?
Any suggestions for improving the overall look are welcome!

I turned spare mechanical keyboard switches into a clock for my first original 3D design

This is my first original 3D design project.

https://makerworld.com/models/2904133?appSharePlatform=copy

I wanted to give spare mechanical keyboard switches and keycaps a second life, so I designed and printed a clock that uses them as hour markers.

The body is fully 3D printed and uses a standard quartz clock movement.

It's still a prototype, and I'm already planning some improvements, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I'd love to hear any feedback or ideas for future versions.

Would you use a mechanical switch clock?

I designed and 3D printed a clock that uses Cherry MX compatible switches and keycaps as hour markers.

The idea started as a way to display spare switches and keycaps instead of leaving them in a drawer.

The prototype is functional and can be wall-mounted or placed on a desk.

I'm still refining the design and would love to hear any feedback or ideas for improvements.
