3-Way Fountain Pen & Ink Holder

myminifactory

This is a desktop organizer with Pen & Ink holder: It can hold your pen in 3 different angle (vertical, horizontal and 55°). There are 12 slots for fountain pen, the 2 slots at the wall with 55° angle and the horizontal slots share the space with adjacent slots. Grab yourself a piece of tissue, fold it or cut it to fit inside the ink tray. It becomes a good place to clean the nib before writing. Snap the cap into the 55° slots. It can hold your pen temperaury without drying out the ink during the writing process. I was looking for a good stand for my fountain pen, but I was struggling with the best way to hold my pen. Some people keep it up, some keep it down and someone claim that the best way is keeping it horizontally. Obviously all method has pros and cons. If you keep it up you could dry the nib. Keep it down at the risk of dripping. Keep it horizontally dose solve above problem, but hey, it takes much more space. Since I am not sure which one is the best, the most reasonable solution is to use all of them. The first goal is to design a fountain pen stand that can hold the pen in 3 different ways. The second is to design a tray for Ink bottles so I don't need keep them somewhere else. The third is to integrate the desktop organizer functionality. And finally to give it a classic wooden style to match the pen and my desk. Since this is my first design on MyMiniFactory, any comment or suggestion is wellcome.
