You win. That’s the dullest thing I saw today. Now print yourself a dull medal (just a plastic disc with inscription) of the dullest pencil holder dull creator.

:)

P.S. It is not as dull as you claim. What is that black ring near the bottom?

What kind of printer(s) do you have?

I use a Bambu Lab A1 and A1 Mini myself.

Bambu Lab P1S. I got the one with AMS, which is nice.

Sweet! I’ll do that.

The black ring is just something to make it a little less plain. It’s still lame, but it serves the intended purpose. It holds pencils and gave me some practice with Bambu Studio. I’m a total n00b at 3D printing, as if it’s not obvious.

He does. It’s so dull that its dullness is almost overwhelming. It makes me feel numb.

OP, do you publish your models somewhere?

No. I’m still trying to figure out what I’m doing. This was only the second thing I’ve modeled. I made an even more boring toothbrush holder.

It’s a nice start. What do you use as a CAD software? As a programmer, I love 3Dscad for it’s way of thinking.

I did this with just Bambu Studio, but I’m also just starting to learn FreeCAD.

This is made from PLA, which is plant-based and biodegradable.
