Penholder Tubes

thingiverse

I adore the design of damm301's pen holder at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:73489 but wanted a kids' version with more tubes. As an engineer, my rendition may not be as artistic, but I hope you appreciate it. There are two STL files for printing: "penholderhollow.stl" and "penholder infill.stl." The former is designed without infill, which could cause perimeter issues if tightness is compromised due to long printing time. Despite slow printing, my version took 8 hours to complete. On the other hand, the latter file requires infill and fills gaps more effectively, with internal support in the base feet. A recent edit (5.3.2014) includes "penholder_hollow_armed.stl" and "penholder_infill_armed.stl," suggested by "paeonius" to thicken the middle section. Additionally, there's an untested repair cone, "repair_cone.stl," which I hope you won't need!
