I wanted something to hold a ‘Sharpie’ pen next to where I have mounted a digital caliper. Found a simple model on thingiverse, and started the process of modifying the design file from there, but then decided I wanted to trial using other software (the slicer I use) to get the model. Is just glued to the timber with PVA glue.
This is a box and two cylinders added as positive parts, and a single cylinder added as a negative part. Sized and located so they add up to the pen holder I want. Small amount of trial and error and a little bit of math used to get the positions. Also, a small amount of sanding required (I rolled up some sandpaper and used that to make the top hole a tiny bit bigger) - turns out that the pen is not a strict cylinder. See second photo.
(note that (for me a least as at 2025-01-24) in the thumbnail image added as a png to the gcode by Prusa slicer (V2.9.0) it does not look like the negative cylinder exists - all I see are the base and the two +'ve part cylinders. It does print correctly though.)
