Ballerina Pen Holder with Tutu - Desk Organizer with Tutu


Description

Add a touch of grace and elegance to your desk (or vanity table!) with this sculptural ballerina-shaped pen holder.

This model isn't just another standard pencil cup; it's a stylized figure featuring a tutu rich with folds and a determined pose with crossed arms. The dress details catch the light beautifully, making this model particularly suited for silky (silk) PLA, metallic, or pearlescent filaments, as seen in the example photos.

The top opening is sized to comfortably hold several pens, pencils, tablet styluses, or even thin makeup brushes, keeping your workspace organized in style.

It's the perfect gift for dancers, dance teachers, or anyone who appreciates classic art and functional design.


🩰 Print Instructions and Settings

This model is designed to be relatively easy to print, but it requires strategic supports for the arm area. Follow these settings for the best result:

  • Quality (Layer Height): 0.2 mm for a fast print. I highly recommend 0.16 mm (or lower) for superior quality, especially to better define the curves of the arms and the folds of the tutu.

  • Perimeters (Walls): 2 perimeters are sufficient.

  • Infill: 15% (any pattern is fine, Gyroid works great).

  • Bed Adhesion (Brim): No. The base is wide enough and shouldn't require a brim if your first layer calibration is correct.

  • Supports (IMPORTANT): YES.

    • You must support the crossed arms.

    • I highly recommend using TREE SUPPORTS in Cura or PrusaSlicer.

    • Set the supports to be generated ONLY under the arms.

    • The tutu and the rest of the body are designed to print without needing supports.


If you print this ballerina, please post a picture of your "Make"! I love seeing the different colors and materials chosen by the community.

Happy printing!
