Honeycomb pen holder

prusaprinters

<p>This is a hack based on vase mode concept.</p> <p>Vase mode takes your model and switches off the infill and the top surface. When your slicer slices it you end up with an empty container with a solid bottom and no top surface.</p> <p>What i have done here is to take a box which I previously printed in vase mode</p> <p>This time instead of selecting vase mode i had the following settings</p> <p>Infill = Honeycomb<br/> Infill percentage = 6%<br/> Top layers = ZERO</p> <p>When the slicer slices it gives you something similar to a vase but instead of it being empty it is filled with loads of honeycomb holes which hold pens perfectly</p> <p>I have done this with a box there is no reason why it can't be done with other shapes such as circles etc.</p> <p>So please go and experiment with simple shapes and using the honeycomb to give the effect you want</p> <p>As to the colour change. I ran out of red about 75% of the way into the print and swapped over to silver</p>
