Open Sharpie_Holder.scad in OpenSCAD or the Customize option to modify these to almost whatever you need on a hanging Pen/Pencil/marker holder. More options are available in OpenSCAD than with Customize.2024 - This is a remix of technojunkie's (2017) remixhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2032068of the sharpie holder created by Ritesh Khanna - ritesh@gmail.comhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1147882I renamed technojunkie's "name" field to "Raised Text"I added the ability to add screw holes to the "top" and to pad the top, bottom and sides (to help get multiple different holders the same height, for instance).I added some automatic (or manual) adjustments to correct issues which "could" occur when using large angles.Added a whole bunch of modifiers so you can hopefully get whatever you need from a pen holder (desk or wall). If you change the shape of the towers, remember to increase the diameter (since the other shapes fit inside of the usual circle).I added the ability to move some elements (Text or pen holes).The chin size is controlled by the Font Size (set Font Size to 0 to remove chin and text).Use Vert_Stretch to override the default separation of towers if they overlap (or are too close). Values 1-5 work in most cases.Use Tower_Adjust to move the full set of towers (keep them attached to the base).Use Text_Adjust to move the text higher or lower than the default.Quick TipsI use -60 degrees for wall mounted pen holders.When using Vert-Stretch set your view so you are looking directly into the tubes and increase the Vert_Stretch until all tubes are separated (2.0 worked for me with the -60 degree angle)Also, all models (-60 degrees) were printed without supports on an Ender 3 V3 SE.The 3 in 1 Holder in the photo was created by making 3 separate holders of the same height and merging them in a slicer (in this case Creality Print). It took approximately 15 hours to print.
