Hi!

The overall form of your object looks good. But you could have better edge flow. With a Mechanical Model like this, you want your edges to be spaced out more or less regularily over the object and you want them to be symmetrical along the main axis. For objects with a lot of perfectly round edges like this I normally split the object up in multible cylinders and cubes that I then merge, so my arcs are smooth and symmetric.

Also it seems like you forgot to bevel some of the edges in the end. It's normally better to bevel a bit too many edged than not enough, so your beveled edges don't stop to abrubtly. I attached a file of how I would model this object so you can see the differences.

I hope it helps!
