Anti-roll for pencils

Description
Pencil Anti-Roll – 3-in-1 Hexagonal Tube (stabilization, extension, better grip)
I had several pencils that kept rolling off my desk and falling to the floor, breaking the lead every time. So, I came up with a simple and practical small solution.
It is a **round tube with a hexagonal front part**, which prevents the pencil from rolling. I added a **side slot** to slightly spread the opening, allowing larger pencils to be inserted.
This design offers **three advantages**:
- **Prevents round pencils from rolling**
- **Extends very short pencils**, which improves grip
- **Offers better ergonomics**, thanks to the intentionally wider hexagonal part
Printing and Recommendations
- Material used: **PLA**
- **No supports needed**
- I recommend leaving the **brim in automatic mode** and setting the **gap to 0.3 mm** to facilitate removal of the underside.
- If you cannot remove the central part connected to the brim:
- it is only one layer thick
- so it can be easily pierced or removed
- Personally tested with a 0.3 mm gap: **no problems** encountered
- Successfully tested with pencils between 7.05mm and 7.50mm in diameter (I haven't tested other materials yet, but a more flexible filament will allow the opening to be spread more easily for wider pencils)
Feel free to share your feedback or your trials with other filaments to help future users.
Happy printing everyone!
