BIC powered ballpen

thingiverse

Introducing a creative pen design that utilizes 3D printing! This model features an easily removable ballpoint and cartridge, allowing you to recycle old pens by simply printing a new body with your favorite design. The pen has an original shape with a side clip and even includes a cool MakerBot logo on top. Despite not having access to a 3D printer, the design is tailored for Thing-O-Matic printers with details over 0.4mm and angles under 45 degrees. Print it in your chosen color, plug the Bic cartridge into the printed body, and enjoy your new pen! Please share if you print one. Note: For TOM users, a corrected file "styloTOM.stl" is available, split into two parts to be assembled with cyanoacrilate glue. Reprap users can use the updated "stylo.stl" in one part for printing. P.S. Don't miss the rendered animation on YouTube for a closer look!
