I designed this concept a long, long time ago, before 3D printers were a thing, and finally made a printable model of the design for this back-to-school competition.

It is a minimalist pencil case that also serves as a holder. I wanted something to hold pencils as they get shorter and protect the tip, and this seems to work perfectly. It's not just a friction fit; I made little wings inside, a compliant mechanism that pushes on pencils while inserted to keep them in place. Because of the mechanism, I would suggest using PETG, especially if you want to use pencils that are slightly thicker or use it a lot for commuting and all.

I might add a few more modules to it as well, like a pencil sharpener or pen holder, when I have a bit more time. So I do hope you will like it and any suggestions are welcome.

Modular axle that is simple to extend by first splitting into objects (right-click Split into objects in pretty much all slicers), then extend the middle part in 15mm increments and move the sides appropriately before selecting all and right-clicking Merge to have as many pencil holders as you might need. Without extending, it holds 3 pencils.
