Surface Pro 3 Pen Rest

thingiverse

This magnetic pen holder is perfect for your Microsoft Surface Pro 3. It attaches right on top of the tablet without blocking the vents or camera lens on either side, so you can keep using all the features you need. The holder works beautifully to keep your stylus in place even when you're working as a laptop or taking it from room to room. Plus, you can easily take it off and stash it away when you travel. I love my Surface Pro 3, but one thing always bugged me: there just aren't enough places to store the stylus. Of course, you could leave it on your desktop nearby, but that gets annoying after a while - and who doesn't know how tricky it is to distinguish between this stylus and an actual pen? I've made that mistake plenty of times! That's why I set out to design something super convenient for carrying my stylus. And then I came across some amazing solutions on Thingiverse, but they just didn't fit the bill - most had magnetic holds on the bottom, not the top. Now my design includes a magnet you can easily place right on top of the tablet. The magnet is designed to securely hold your pen even under moderate movement or when the Surface is flipped upside down. It's truly genius! But if you don't want to use the magnet for some reason, it's totally optional - you won't lose functionality. This stylus holder works fine without it for lighter use, so take that as you will. Now on to the print: for this design, a simple orientation is perfect and printing on a raft will help the results greatly; don't forget no supports are necessary. If you do end up needing more detail then printing multiple versions will help - no glue needed there. Assemble it with ease: just slot in your 22mmx5mmx5mm magnet (if using) into the available slot. Then super glue is not required as the pen simply goes into the provided indentation; no muss, no fuss!
