Knight Radiant Pencil Holder

thingiverse

I'm determined to make up for the lack of printable items from Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archives by creating my own projects based on this epic series. This custom pencil holder was designed with my brother's input, allowing him to choose a Shardblade glyph from the Order of the Skybreakers. The back of the holder features the First Ideal of the Knights Radiant: "Life before Death, Strength before Weakness, Journey before Destination." To achieve optimal results, I printed this design in two parts to minimize support material and ensure that the intricate designs are printed against the bed. Just remember to adjust the bridging layer behind the engraved design so it doesn't extend the full length of the design. UPDATE: The First Ideal didn't print well for me, as the internal details of the letters kept falling out of place. I resolved this issue by replacing the back side with glyphs representing the Gravitation and Division surges. To assemble the holder, apply glue to the two halves in post-processing.
