3-Way Fountain Pen & Ink Holder

thingiverse

This is a desktop organizer with Pen & Ink holder: 1. It holds your pen in 3 different angles: vertical, horizontal, and 55°. 2. The organizer features 12 slots for fountain pens, including 2 wall-mounted slots at 55° and horizontal slots that share space with adjacent slots. 3. A folded or cut piece of tissue fits inside the ink tray, providing a convenient place to clean your nib before writing. 4. Snap the cap into the 55° slots to keep your pen upright without drying out the ink during use. I was searching for the perfect stand for my fountain pen, but struggled to find a solution that met all my needs. Some people prefer keeping their pens upright, while others opt for a horizontal position. One user claimed that the best approach is to keep it horizontally, as this eliminates the risk of drying out or dripping. However, this method requires more space. Since I'm still unsure about the optimal way to hold my pen, I decided to design an all-in-one solution. My goals were clear: create a fountain pen stand that can accommodate my pen in three different positions, design a tray for ink bottles so they're always within reach, integrate a desktop organizer functionality, and give it a classic wooden look to match my pen and desk. As this is my first design on Thingiverse, I welcome any comments or suggestions.
