Cactus Pencil cup holder (really a cup now)

thingiverse

I loved the original design, but before printing it, I realized that it had several issues that would prevent it from slicing properly. When sliced (and if you printed the original one), the top would seal up, so not exactly a cup as much as a cactus with the top hacked off. I first imported the file into Microsoft 3D Builder to fix it but it still wouldn't slice correctly. So then I imported it into Fusion 360 and with a series of extrusions *cuts, joins, and more cuts) and some filleting, I was finally able to get the file to slice correctly. The original designer must have had extremely long pencils and pens. The ones I have barely stick out the top. He did show the original dimensions in centimeters, and this one has the same measurements. The interior height of the cup is about 135 millimeters (around 5.25 inches), and with one of the branches standing around 140 millimeters tall. The interior diameter of the cup is 43 millimeters (about 1.7 inches). This design must be printed with supports for the arms of the cactus. Thank you to the original poster whose work I remixed. It looks like it might have been a school project, and he designed it, rendered it, but never actually printed it to see the design errors. It is very aesthetically pleasing as a design.
