UFS-003 Narrow Pencil Cup with Magnets for Window Sill

thingiverse

My wife requested a pencil cup that she could put on a window sill. She wanted it to be narrow. I knew that if it was narrow, then it would be easy to tip over. Because the window frame was metal, I could use magnets to hold it in place. I happen to have purchase a small collection of magnets to keep on hand for just this type of request. I figured that two 10mm magnets would have plenty of holding power. I had no idea how wide the window sill would be, or what kind of pens/pencils she was planning to use. I figured a simple rectangular cup with rounded ends would work. It would be easy to scale and could be adjusted to fit her needs. Before I started designing, I looked around on Thingiverse for ideas. I found this nice desktop organizer design that had a narrow pencil cup. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3925248 It looked like a great starting point. We made three variations on the design. Since we happen to have PETG in the printer, we went ahead and used that for printing out the parts. The one she liked the most, we glued on the magnets and it was good to go. The sizes are as follows: Small: 85 x 30 x 60 Medium: 90.5 x 39 x 89 Large: 110.5 x 39 x 99
