Cloud Desk Organizer or Pen or Pencil Holder

myminifactory

A cloud desk organizer, (pen or pencil holder) made from modified cylinders! From the top it looks like a cloud. It has spaces of various sizes and shapes to hold your supplies.  The concept behind the design is that I've seen a lot of printable desk organizers, but they are very geometric and symmetrical. That's nice, but I was thinking it would be cool to have something a little more visually interesting, something that can bridge between modern geometric design and organic design. This is my solution! From the side, it looks like a series of cylinders of various heights, still geometric and nice looking. From the top, the dividers and shape form a cloud. Honestly, I'm pretty happy with the balance between the two design styles. The different size cylinders allow for various sizes of supplies, and the shortest cylinder with the side missing was designed with paperclips in mind.  This was a big print and a long print. It is a little larger of a scale than it needs to be, and it can be scaled down. I also have a tiny prototype version of it, so I know that it can be scaled down pretty easily. It took about 24 hours to print on my Prusa i3 Mk3. And, as you can see from the pictures, I ran out of grey filament and had to finish it in white. Also a cloud color, so not a total loss. The original model is 168 x 190 x 158 mm. You can see the picture with all my paint brushes to get an idea of scale.  This object was made in Tinkercad.
