Pen or Tool Stand / Spring Design

thingiverse

I was searching for a stand to hold my fountain pens upright but couldn't find one that I liked, so I decided to design something myself. This pen/tool stand has a unique shape, resembling a spring and features flexible properties. There are four different designs available: straight round spring, tapered round spring, straight hex spring, and tapered hex spring. The straight spring measures approximately 55mm in diameter, while the opening of the tapered spring is around 53mm. All four designs can be scaled down if needed; scaling up may also be possible. This pen/tool stand prints well at a layer height of 0.2mm. However, printing at 0.3mm is also feasible if your printer supports this height. It's worth noting that support material will be necessary within the parts during the printing process and removing it can be a bit tedious.
