<p>I made this print for the Pens and Pencils contest ending on Feb 6th at Midnight UTC… but I believe I forgot to take into account Daylight Savings… I am at Mountain Standard Time… and I thought I was only 7 hours off… oh well…</p><p>I used wire clippers, then a heat gun to attempt to tame the beard, then decorated with Sharpies.</p><p>The Gnome just slides on the Pen…</p><p>If you take out the pen from a BIC pen it will slide into the tapered end of the pin.</p><p>I used clear PETG in this print. &nbsp;The Vertical pen was more see through but suffered from registration errors on my Prusa Mini+ (see note below)</p><p>The Blue Gnome Pen used the Vertical Print "Pen_contest_v2 v4" &nbsp;</p><ul><li>I had to drill out this print to make the pen go in it, and I am not 100% sure of the cause. &nbsp;I think that the taper and the change in thickness at the top of the pen made vibrations that caused the registration errors. &nbsp;Flipping the pen upside down might fix this.</li></ul><p>The Red Gnome used the Horizontal Pen print “Pen_contest_v2 v8”</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
