I designed this awesome easy to print pen holder! As you can see, it's a printception so you have those big layer lines and at the end a customizable end with a nozzle on it so it looks like it's printed with a very big 3D printer!

I made a YouTube video about this project:

Printing Part 1, the main pen holder, isn't that difficult and I printed the model at 0,2 mm layer heights, with 3 walls, top -and bottomlayers and 20% infill without supports.

Printing the end pieces (Part 2) in the right orientation is important for the end result, here you can see how I orientated them:

Assembling all the parts together:

You will be able to slide the end pieces (blue) in very easily if you have removed the support material.

You can see that I made 2 holes in Part 1, it was in case that the end pieces would be loose.
If it's loose, you can insert the end piece, grab a 1,75-2 mm drill and carefully drill through part 2 when it's inserted in part 1, now you are able to insert raw filament or M2x6 bolts, But normally you shouldn't need any of it.

or you can insert superglue via the holes.

Remixing this design?

I already made 3 end pieces where the nozzle can rest on but I included 2 STEP-files so you can make your own one!

This is where my inspiration came from + what about that nozzle?

The idea of this penholder, more specifically the big layer lines were inspired by Devin Montes from the youtube channel Make Anything where he made containers and vases a few years ago with that ‘big layer lines' idea. The nozzle I used for my pen holder was downloaded from his square container which you can also download on his profile on MyMiniFactory: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-printception-square-container-132177

I printed the nozzle with 0,1 mm layer heights, 3 perimeters and 20% infill without any supports.

The assembling of the nozzle was very easy.

I already made another one last year, you may also like that one: https://makerworld.com/en/models/62737#profileId-90479
