This is a simple retaining clip for my generic ipad active stylus (which is kind-of a cheap clone of the Apple Pencil but with less features).
You should compare your stylus to my one in the photos - there are a lot of random-brands selling what appears to be the same thing on Amazon. This model is not designed for an Actual Apple Pencil and not tested with one, I would presume it wouldn't fit.
This design relies on the stylus having the USB-C charging socket on the side near the rear, as the clip has a 1mm bump that drops in to the cutout (without going deep enough to touch the inner USB socket part itself). That bump holds the clip pretty solidly in place, and the current version is a slightly tight fit to slide in to place.
To remove, gently lift up on the side of the split-circle nearest the LEDs / charging socket while pulling the clip towards the back of the stylus. You will need to do this to charge the stylus!
I modeled this specifically to go with the stick-on elastic pen loops that I had already put on my ipad case - but that are too wide to give any meaningful grip to the stylus so it just slides out. They are 20mm in length on the tube-part and I'm using two of them.
Printing
I printed in PLA, in the upright orientation, using 4 perimeters and a 6mm brim on PrusaSlicer's 0.15mm Quality preset on my Prusa Mini. No supports needed, aside from that brim which is always a good idea when printing a tall thing with small bed footprint.
I think printing this upright is the right choice. I was more concerned about strength on the split-circle that grips the stylus than on the clip itself. The clip sees very little deflection while being slid past the pen-loops I'm using, whereas the split-circle around the stylus is exerting a constant slight squeeze inward.
Modifying
Fusion F3D and Step files are included for convenience. I'm afraid I didn't use proper Parameters because I'm lazy like that, but it's a pretty simple model and the sketches do use Dimensions to set sizes - so it should be fairly easy to make the clip arm longer (adjust the 2nd Extrude), or increase/decrease the thickness of the bump at the end of the clip (edit the 3rd Sketch), if you need to dial that in for your specific needs.
I would be delighted for you to upload remixes of your tweaked - or wildly overhauled - versions.
