Pen or Tool Stand / Spring Design

cults3d

I needed a pen stand for my fountain pens that met my expectations so I decided to design one myself. A pen or tool stand was created with flexibility in mind and it's shaped like a spring. There are four different designs available: straight round, tapered round, straight hex, and tapered hex. The dimensions of the straight spring are approximately 55mm in diameter, while the opening of the tapered spring measures about 53mm. Each design can be easily scaled down if needed, and it's also possible to scale them up. When printing these springs, a layer height of 0.2mm is recommended for optimal results. However, some printers may support a layer height of 0.3mm as well. It's essential to include supports within the parts during the printing process, but removing them can be a bit of a challenge.
