Super Giant Impractical Pencil

I loved the concept of @Tridealo.Impresiones's Giant Impractical Pencil. It's a super fun novelty thing, but it is still practical. So I thought I would make it bigger. But the greatest part is it's modulably bigger. You can keep adding on sections. Here’s the way it works:

 

1. Print out the modified end and front of the pencil.

2. Print out all sections (250 mm each) you will be using.

3. Print out all the connectors you will need. 

4. Assemble by placing the connectors inside, gluing for added stability, and combining two sections together until you have your “Super Giant Impractical Pencil”.

 

This model doesn't use any supports, but it does use a brim for added stability. Because when you print something that is tall and doesn't have much contact with the print bed, it will most likely fall off. Even with the brim, I would still recommend gluing your bed just as an added safety precaution. I can't really give an estimate on time or cost since it's modular, but you’re looking at a lot of filament and time to make this. As always, let me know if you have any questions, concerns, comments, etc.

 

Enjoy,
