STEALTH – Whiteboard Marker Holder

prusaprinters

The Staedtler Tactical Erasable Attachable Lettering Tool Holder lets you attach your Staedtler markers to any magnetic surface, with no extra bulk. There are three variations to suit your needs.I use these in multiple classrooms each day. They need to stay where I leave off writing, not in a fixed holder somewhere off to the side. And since I want my markers with me, they have to be easy to transport.1) MarkerDrillThe best version IMO. It lets you attach markers to boards vertically or horizontally, and the markers still fit in the plastic carrying case. The provided MarkerDrill jig holds the marker in place for easy drilling with a 2.5mm wood bit. Use 3x6mm cylinder magnets - they'll fit snugly once pressed into the cap and stay there without glue. Careful - drill through the clip only, not into the inner cap. This gives a very strong hold.Pros:no glue requireddoes not slip offattaches both vertically and horizontallyinvisibly integrated into the capcompatible with carrying casesuses affordable, strong 3x6mm cylinder magnets at maximum efficiencycomes with a jig for precision drillingCons:destructive – requires drilling before first use.If you can't drill into the pens, check out the other two versions.2) MarkerStealthThis minimalist magnet holder comes in at less than 1g of filament. It uses the marker clip to hide a magnet and keep it securely in place. The holder clicks into place.Tested with 20x6x2 magnets. There are multiple files for 2mm magnets with 20mm length and widths from 5 to 9.5mm. (The 9.5 model can also hold 10mm wide magnets.) Alternatively, use “MarkerStealth for neg vol” and add a negative volume for your specific magnet. Note: magnets thicker than 2mm don't fit under the clip.Pros:non-destructiveprints in minutesinstalled in secondsno glue requireddoes not slip offattaches verticallynearly invisiblecompatible with carrying casesmodels for multiple magnet sizes PLUS one-size-fits-all modelCons:not as strong as MarkerDrillcannot attach horizontallyblocks clip3) MarkerCapThis simply clips into the top of the cap. Remixed from @Dodox' "The most minimalist STAEDTLER whiteboard marker holder" with the following improvements: thicker wall that clips into the marker cap for a stronger hold with extra friction on the inner and outer surfaces  (in the original model they came out fairly easily), adjusted for magnets with a 2.7mm thickness > uses 8ø x 2.7mm cylinder magnets. (Versions for other thicknesses coming soon.)Pros:non-destructiveinstalled in secondsdoes not slip offattaches horizontallyblends in with the capshow off your filament colour collection :)Consrequires gluecannot attach vertically makes markers longer
