Iron pipe paperweight pen holder

thingiverse

This is a two-part print designed to be pen holder and paperweight. Part “b" is the main vase/cup, and part “a” is a snap-on cage made to perfectly encase a steel block I had lying around. Part “a” will snap into the underside of part “b” (see picture), and is strong enough to hold the ~3 pound steel block. However, you could easily print part “b” only for a stand-alone pen/pencil holder. Note that there is an intentional bumpy texture on part “b," intended to make it look like a cast iron black pipe fitting.
