Pencil Joiner

thingiverse

I designed this 3D printable star joiner for Ikea Pencils because I wanted to make a small laptop stand but do it in a way that used less 3d printed material. By subsituting sections with pencils you could have something that can be combined as one object and cover a larger area. If you decide to create a laptop stand the part with the lip can be used to hook around the front of your laptop and the same lipped pieces can be used to rest the laptop on. I designed the part around the Ikea sized pencil, which there is a near infinite source of at your local Ikea (I'm making an assumtion that you might have one too). I see no problem in scaling the parts to work with normal pencils too. Theres a hexaganol hole in the center that should easily fit another pencil upright. Print this part with the flattest side on the bed, and it shouldnt need any support material Obviously these parts can be used to make various other structures. If you make other things from them, then why not give the comments section a visit and write what you used it for. Otherwise if you have a good idea on what you could use it for write it in the comments so other people can get ideas. If you like some other types of pieces, let me know and I'll try make them.
