Pencil Pot

About the Pencil Pot

A pencil pot with endless looks: round, hex, square, fluted or a tiered trio, with ribbed, dotted, knurled or wave textures, a twist, a slanted top and compartments. Set the size to fit pens, brushes or make-up.

What you can change

• Shape: round, hexagon, rounded square, fluted and tiered trio.
• Surface: smooth, ribbed, dotted, knurled and waves.
• Adjust diameter, height, top width and twist, and more.

Size

About 7.5 × 7.5 × 10 cm (width × depth × height), one piece at the starting settings.

What you download

An STL or 3MF for any slicer.

Printing it

About 58 g of PLA and about 3 hours 20 minutes to print, one piece at the starting settings (15% infill, 2 walls, 0.2 mm layers, on a Bambu Lab A1). Your slicer gives the exact figures for your printer and settings.

Ideas for using it

• Pens and pencils on a desk, with compartments for scissors and rulers.
• Paintbrushes or make-up brushes, sorted by size.
• A tiered trio for felt tips, crayons and pencils in a kids’ craft corner.
• A pot for kitchen utensils or a toothbrush cup, printed in PETG.

Questions

What size is it?

About 7.5 × 7.5 × 10 cm (width × depth × height), one piece at the starting settings. Every size is a setting, so make it as big or small as you need.

Which printers and slicers does it work with?

Any FDM printer. The STL opens in every slicer; the 3MF keeps the colours as separate parts in Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer and Cura. Pick your printer in the designer to check it fits the plate.

Can I sell what I make?

On Pro and Ultimate you can sell the prints you make, for example on Etsy or at craft fairs. On Free and Maker, print it for yourself or give it as a gift. The STL and 3MF files themselves are never for sharing or selling.
