I saw a post about a pencil which was threaded so that a nut could be moved along it and comments about how it is helpful for those with autism/adhd or just those that want something to fidget with. This is a sleeve to transform a standard pencil/pen (or other round or hex-shaped implement) into a fidget.
There are 3 versions included, a 7.3mm hex-shaped sleeve for the Ticonderoga pencils I have, a 7.7mm hex for the other hex pencils I have, and a 7.5mm round for the generic round pencils I have. The STLs are all for 100mm/4in or so in length but you can change that. The file is designed to be parametric so you can easily change it to other sizes (diameters/lengths). If you run across any problems, just let me know and I can try to fix it.
The defaults worked well for me with a friction fit. Depending on your use, you may want to glue the sleeve to the pencil/pen. My son enjoyed sliding it up/down the pencils as much as he liked moving the nuts along the sleeve.
