Pencils Fan

This design showcases pencils in easily accessible rows, solving the impracticality of other artistic designs. It ensures ease of insertion and replacement, displays all pencils for quick identification, maintains balance when removing a few, accommodates varying pencil diameters, and hides sharp ends while retaining a utilitarian look. However, mixed long and short pencil use may require shorter pencils in closer holes. The initial print file was time-consuming, so a simpler CubeTube81 design was developed, meeting usability goals within 2 hours. Suggestions for improved stability include adding a flat base that protrudes to hold it down when pulling out a pencil. This concludes the pencils project.
