Pencil and Pen Holder

thingiverse

I've decided to learn Sketchup and create a pen and pencil holder as my first project. The model can be printed in any color of your choice, and will securely mount to the side of your desk using a wood screw or sheet rock screw. I initially printed mine in black but experienced nozzle clogging issues. As a result, I've been learning how to use my Afinia 3D printer better, and discovered that the red print came out about 1% smaller than the black one. To compensate, I had to enlarge the model before printing in red. It seems like my printer bed may have moved slightly during the process, as there's a noticeable ridge down the middle of the printed holder. Despite these minor hiccups, the pen and pencil holder works well in holding my writing instruments!
