Whiteboard pen holder

I got a whiteboard at home (and some in the office) but the aluminum pen holders that came with it are mostly subpar. So I started looking around for a pen holder that would meet my needs. Most of them were very precise, with holes for the pens that meant they needed to fit exactly, which made it a lot more hassle to put the pens in or grab them quickly when sketching an idea fast. I wanted a simple solution where I could just place six pens in it without worrying too much. So I created my own can-shaped pen holder that would hold up to seven pens. The pen holder measures about 7cm x 9cm x 5.5cm. On the back side, I placed two recesses of about 2cm x 8cm with a depth of 1.5mm to insert the magnet bands into them. I bought magnet bands from Amazon (I can also get them on Aliexpress) that are 2cm wide and 2mm thick. They came in a 3m roll, so I simply cut about 8cm for each recess. The included tape didn't stick well to the printed object, so I added some superglue. It works perfectly for me and looks great in my opinion as well.
