Apple Pencil Holder Rocket Design (1st Generation)

thingiverse

This design is inspired by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1478052">lasseklein's Rocket Charging Dock</a>. I started from scratch as I ddin't like the idea of bending a lightning cable up inside the dock, and to be honest didn't really want to charge my pencil when in the dock - they charge so quickly I didn't find it necessary. Also some of the comments on lasseklein's design said that the fins were a little tight to the pencil, and I'd rather not scratch the pencil up every time I remove/replace it. Simply created in Tinkercad with a cylinder, 4 pointed star, and hollowed out with a cylinder and half sphere for a smoother bottom end where the cap sits. This design is a lot shorter as it no longer has to accomodate for the charger. My slicer was having issues with the pointed rocket 'fins', so I cut them off by a couple of mm before slicing which seemed to do the trick. I figured this was a good idea anyway as I don't want incredibly pointy things sticking up in the air. Despite this I've added both versions into the files for anyone that wants the original. Not a perfect design I'll admit - a little wobbly, and doesn't look all that rocket-y, but it'll do for now!
