Description
Hex array pencil holders inspired by GeekyFayeArt's hex modular copic marker stands.
https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/45567-modular-vertical-honeycomb-copic-marker-stand
Stands 8 cm tall, tilts to a 30 degree angle for easier use. These nest back-to-back. They have side holders that can accommodate sharpeners, erasers, rulers, etc.
The hex holes fit a 7.5 mm diameter circle. I have tested these with round PrismaColor and hex "Marco" color pencils.
Versions include:
4x6 array (holds 24 pencils)
4x12 array (holds 48 pencils)
5x12 array (holds 60 pencils, or two for a 120 pencil set)
6x12 array (holds 72 pencils)
Designed parametrically in Fusion 360.
Designed for printing with 0.4mm nozzle, 0.28mm layers.
Hexes will have walls that are just over 2 nozzle widths thick.
Make sure that it's plated so that the solid side is flat on the build plate.
Printed on the Prusa Mini. Sliced in PrusaSlicer 2.3 alpha 3.
I printed this with Sunlu "Gradually color" rainbow gradient silk PLA+ filament.
