Spinning Revolver Pencil Holder (3D Printed Bearings)

thingiverse

I wanted to create a version of this that was 100% 3d printable without the need for adding purchased metal bearings afterwards. I also wanted more slots for pens so i designed a new 8-shot and left the center open as well so it will hold a total of 9 pens/pencils. This is a new take on the spinning revolver. Its printing now so it is currently untested (i'll provide an update). The base has 3d printable bearings incorporated into it so it should be print ready and the base & pencil holder should fit together after printing to form a single unit. When completed, the project should be about 100 mm tall, 92 mm in diameter at the base. The two projects I used as design inspiration are below.
