MineCraft Creeper Pen / Pencil Holder / Pot With Removeable Head

thingiverse

I made this for my son to keep his pens/pencils in. He loves it. It will hold pens/pencils up to 19cm tall with the head on it! I got the original model, enlarged it, chopped it into two, filled in the base, added feet lines and hollowed it out to hold pens/pencils. Then I hollowed out the head and gave it a lip to hold it in place when it's on. The hollow area has walls of 2.5mm as it wanted it quite strong. There is a gap of 0.25mm between the head and body - so it's not tight - but I didn't want it to be - it's a pen pot! You will need supports for the face but nowhere else. I used 25% infill to make the base quite strong and heavy. It came out lovely on my CR-6 in Prusa Green. See my make for more photos. I masked off the outside of the face (badly) and then I painted the eyes and mouth black with just black spray paint.
