Wall Mounted Pen Holder - Fully Customisable

If you like this model, please consider uploading a make :) 

Features

• Simple & elegant design that fits anywhere.

• Double sided adhesive or magnetic wall mounting options. Fits 8mm x 3mm round magnets. You will need to glue them in.

• Easy to print & no supports.

• Multiple files ready to print for various pen sizes:

  • 10, 13 & 18mm hole options,

  •  with or without magnets,

  • holding 2, 4 or 6 pens.

• Fully parametric FreeCAD file with simple variables to configure the model.

Print Settings

Pretty much any settings will work, but I used:

• 0.28mm layer height

• 0.4mm nozzle

• 2-3 walls

• Seam position: back

The main .3mf file has every file arranged on plates and the print settings I used.

Editing In FreeCAD

This model was designed in FreeCAD v1.1.0rc1. All current and future versions should work with this model.

You can download FreeCAD here: https://www.freecad.org/downloads

• Open the .fcstd file in FreeCAD.

• Navigate to the Tree View in the left side panel and select the "Variables" feature.

• Go to Data in the bottom half of the panel. Change the appropriate variables:

  • "holder_height" changes the total height of the holder.

  • "magnet" turns the rear magnet holes on or off. enter "y" (without quotes) to turn them on, and leave it blank for off.

  • "magnet_col" defines the number of magnet hole columns.

  • "magnet_row" defines the number of magnet hole rows.

  • "pen_diameter" should be set to the diameter of your pen.

  • "pen_no" defines the number of pens the holder should hold.

  • "pen_tolerance" sets the tolerance for the pen hole. The number here is added to "pen_diameter" for the total hole diameter. You probably want to leave this at 0.5 to 2mm.

• When done, select "Body" in the Tree View, then File > Export. Export as a .3mf or .stl for 3D printing.
