Simple Pens Holder

The first thing that came to mind was the honeycomb .
Because I was eating honey at the time of design implementation. :D
I decided to use honeycomb cells in the design, but with some of my creativity.
Software Used for 3D Printing as a slicer
( to Adjust print and time settings )
Sketching, Modeling and Assembling parts
Material used for 3D Printing
Machine Used for 3D Printing
First, I looked for the design to be inspiration. Fortunately, I found it easy, practical.

I decided to design one that was close to his inspiration but from my design and creativity.
Create -> Extrude -> 3mm.
Using Extrude method to turn sketches from 2D into 3D bodies with thickness 3 mm (the thickness of plywood used for fabrication)
Component -> Appearance.
You can choose whether the material used or colors of different types to clarify what material is used through color or material.
Create -> Hole.
I repeated it with each of them and specified where to save them.
Body -> Right-Click -> Export as Mesh
I repeated it with each of them and specified where to save them.
Inspect -> Section Analysis.
As shown in the figure, use the cutting feature to see the difference between the holes and each other.
We find some of them tapered and this we control by adjusting the angle of the end of the hole.
The other is plain, flattened by a 180 angle.
I imported the STL file into Ultimaker cura, then I started to adjust the scale, %fill, and print profile. I tested many settings to get the best output.
Infill: 20% weight:12g TIme:1h25min. Res:0.2mm Support: Fasle
At first, the machine starts to heat to be ready, and the heat bed starts to get hot too.
The screen above is shown that, the estimated time, temperatures, and also the percentage of the end of printing.
It is strange that it did a brim without checking on it from cura and I asked the specialist, but we did not reach a solution.
You can see above The initial layers of printing if there are no errors here.
You can leave it to work alone and you can rest a little, feel safe and take a cup of coffee.
As we shown before, the difference between the holes and each other.
We find some of them tapered and this we control by adjusting the angle of the end of the hole.
The other is plain, flattened by a 180 angle.
Finally, here is the output after the end of printing.
Among the challenges that I faced was how to install the pens inside, not one pen, but many pens, and the flat bottom would prevent that.
As shown in the photo, I decided that the bottom would be deep and droopy to hold many pens.
But at the last moments, I decided that the holder should have both pointed and flat methods.
The coolest thing I experienced this week and tried and gained experience from it is designing LEGO man.
And, Inshallah I will Complete the design because it is fun.
