Super-sized Pencil 3D

Step_8.png

If you're looking to create a huge pencil that's ready to be 3D printed, look no further!

Supplies

Autodesk Inventor

2D Sketch

Step_1.png

Create a 2D sketch of a hexagon and a circle that are centered at the same point. The edge of the circle should touch the six edges of the hexagon.

Extrustion #1

Step_2.png

Extrude the circle 1.5 inches backwards

Extrusion #2

Step_3.png

Extrude the hexagon forward by 25 inches

Chamfers for the Hexagon

Step_4.png

Create 6 Chamfers along the 6 edges of the front of the hexagon. The chamfers should be the second style on the left and should be at an 80-degree angle and at a distance of 0.25 inches. This will create the tip of the pencil.

Extrusion #3 & Color

Step_6.png

Extrude the very front of the pencil by 0.1 inches to create the lead part of the pencil. Make sure to add color the stem and the tip of the pencil so that it looks much more realistic.
