Broad Sharpie Holder

thingiverse

I picked up an 8-pack of broad/ large Sharpies, then, after staring at them in a jumbled mess for far too long, decided to create a custom holder for them using my 3D printer. Most designs on Thingiverse are tailored for the narrow Sharpies with circular profiles, so I designed a new one that fits the oval-shaped ones I purchased. I carved out a hole through the center core to minimize plastic waste, but this opening can be used to hold pens or other small items. This custom design is set up as a customizable template, although there's limited room for customization. You can decrease `$fn` to produce a more polygonal shape; and you can adjust `maxMarkerWidth` and/or `minMarkerWidth` to fine-tune the design if you have markers (or something else) that differ slightly in size from Sharpie-brand markers.
