This is a pen and pencil holder to hold your favorite pens and pencils that you use often. It can also be used as a stand, or to hold anything with a clip similar in size to that of a pen. 

Supplies

Tools needed:

Fusion 360 (https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview)

3D printer with fillament

Sketch the Base

First, go into Fusion 360 and make a sketch with the plane as the grid plane. Then, make a center rectangle with the center as the origin and make the dimensions 100mm by 100mm. Next, delete the constraints (the dotted lines). Your screen should look like this:

Now, make a 2 point rectangle and use the top left corner of the square as one of the points. Make sure your cursor is below and to the left of the point, and set the dimensions to 5mm by 100mm so that the 100mm side lines up with the square. When you are done, your screen should look like this:

Sketch the Notches

First, make a 2 point rectangle with one point on the top right corner of the square. Again, put your cursor below and to the left of the point, and make the dimensions 5mm by 100mm so that, again, the 100mm side lines up inside the square (it should be taller than it is wide). Now, repeat that process but with the top left corner of that rectangle, and make the dimensions 7.5mm by 100mm. Your screen should now look like this:

Repeat this process (5mm rectangle then 7.5mm rectangle) until you have filled all of the space. You should now have 9 5mm rectangles (including the one you made the previous step), and 8 7.5mm rectangles. Your screen should now look like this:

Extrude the Wall and Notches

First, finish the sketch. Then, extrude the leftmost rectangle (the one you made in step 1) up by 200mm. Then, extrude each of the remaining 5mm rectangles up by 15mm and extrude the 7.5mm rectangles up by 5mm. Your screen should now look like this:

Filet the Edges

First, go into top view and select all of the vertical rectangle edges (only the outer (top) ones; there should be 18 in total), then filet them by 1mm. Your screen should look like this: 

Finishing Touches and Print

Add any colors/materials you would like. Then 3D print the model. Congratulations, you are done!
