Customizable Apple iPad Pro Pencil Clip

thingiverse

Human error prompts the design of multiple clips for the Apple iPad pro pencil as it appears Apple overlooked this feature. Variables are defined to customize the clip. Diameter of the Apple Pencil is set at 8.8 millimeters, scaled to ensure a snug fit. The diameter of the barrel is adjusted to 15 millimeters, while the length of the barrel is fixed at 20 millimeters. The number of sides on the barrel can be selected from 4-square to 100-round, with 6 being the default choice. Clip thickness is set at 5 millimeters, which affects the gap between the clip and pencil but not the actual gap. The length of the clip port is fixed at 60 millimeters, influenced by the number of sides chosen. The shape of the clip can be altered using a value from 3 (triangle) to 100 (round), with 6 being the default setting. Slot width is adjusted to 2 millimeters, defining the expansion slot in the side of the barrel. Note: The original design was modified due to issues with slicers and PLA printing. Thin clips were prone to breaking. Printing two clips at once allows for more cooling time. Additions or changes can be suggested through Thingiverse messaging.
