Spring Is Just Around the Corner - Penholder

Spring Is Just Around the Corner - Penholder

Get the visual pun?

This print-in-place model brings a playful twist to your desk: a tiny brick wall marks the corner, while a cheerful spring peeks out as if it’s been waiting all winter to bounce into action (it’s been coiled up with excitement). The inner space of the brick wall doubles as a holder for your desk utensils—perfect for pens, pencils, and other small essentials. It’s a witty reminder that brighter days are always closer than they seem, and it might just make your colleagues or family members laugh when they ask what it means.

Or even use it as a plant pot and add your favorite spring flowers :)

Print settings

I recommend a minimum layer height of 0.20 mm. A fill density of minimum 15% with Rectilinear infill works well. 

To avoid warping of the bases, I recommend to disable the fan for the first 3 layers and set the fist layer speed to 10mm/s. Also print with 3 walls to achieve a smooth outer surface finish. Also consider enabling Avoid Crossing Perimeters for best results.

Add some rubber feet at the bottom of the base to avoid the penholder from sliding around.

Supports should not required if you have properly calibrated your printer and filament.

Scale to your needs.

Enjoy!
