Swirly Pen Holder #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Shared by Sir_Joe on Thingiverse:

A pen/pencil holder not usual that in addition to keeping the desk clean and in order also gives a little touch of design

I made of two types, one slim and one chubby, if you prefer the slim type then I recommend using the file with reinforcements to avoid ripples of the strips, while printing them, that would make the strips less precise.

The pencil holder in the photo is slim type printed without reinforcements, you can see the roughness on the final part of the rods caused by sways during printing

The fat type file is not for free download

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
