This is for kids of any age who want their own multi tool but maybe can't have one.
- Designed to accommodate a regular wooden pencil profile
- Great for old stubby pencils
- Multi tool pencils can be up to 80mm in length - you can always cut regular pencils in 2 for multi, er, multi tool pencils
- Kids can assemble their own with the included custom flathead screwdriver!
- Coloured pencils optional - use 6 different HB pencils if you like. Mix 'em up!
- Simply insert the blunt end of a pencil, squeeze the holder gently to grip the pencil - use pliers carefully for more grip.
While all items will print without supports or brim, it may be worth enabling brim for the bolts.
Tighten the bolt so that the holders are held by friction but don't over tighten - these are just tiny 3D printed nuts and bolts after all.
I've kept tolerances tight for my set up - if you can't get the nuts and bolts to fit print at 90% flow or drop me a message.
