DNA Helix PEN Holder - bigger version of pencil version

thingiverse

This is a redesign for 12.2mm pens of my 8mm pencil version. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1803253 I finally got a print (picture uploaded). Tested already on 4 slicers and all is peachy: Simplify3D, Slic3r, ffslicer, skeinforge. Suggested Print process: Print the "DNA_Helix_Pen_Holder_12mm_BothParts01.stl" STL file After print, remove two parts from print bed. a. bottom of helix is outer print b. top of helix is inner print. Assemble with glue, or your favorite adhesive to make the bond permanent. (I used super glue). Insert Pens and display. Want a Sharpy version? (I plan to print one and post soon): Follow the instructions above but scale the STL file(s) up to 110% (this will give you 13.4mm holes) ...Or you can just print this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1924310 Optional: I included the two parts separated to allow customizations. Bottom Part: DNA_Helix_Pen_Holder_12mm_Part_A_01.stl Top Part: DNA_Helix_Pen_Holder_12mm_Part_B_01.stl Print Settings Printer: Maker Select i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.20 Infill: 20% Notes: This print is 157mm high. Let me know if there is a demand for a version with a lower print clearance.
