Shelf Hanging Pen Holder

An parametric-defined adjustable pen holder that hangs from 2cm high shelves from the Container Store.

A version of this is also a Customizable model on Thingiverse. The source file that it uses is here.

I created a video showing the process of building this model here.

Parameters

• Number of columns: number of horizontal cels
• Number of rows: number of vertical cels
• Size of each cell in mm.: the size in mm of each cell square
• Depth in mm: the depth in mm of the cells
• Divider thickness in mm.: the thickness of the spacing between each cell
• Clip width in mm.: the width of each clip
• Clip depth in mm.: the depth of the flanges of the clips
• Shelf thickness in mm: the shelf thickness in mm
• Round holes: check to make holes round instead of square

Building the Model

This is the most productive workflow that I've found for developing OpenJSCAD-based models:

1. Open the site OpenJSCAD in a web browser
2. From the OS file explorer drag the file shelfPenHolder.js to the box on the bottom of the page where it says "Drop your jscad...."
3. Check the Auto Reload checkbox
4. Open the shelfPenHolder.js in Visual Studio Code
5. Modify the parameters to fit your needs
6. Press the Generate STL button to download the STL file that you can print from a 3D Printer

Here is a model generated from the default parameters. The model can be printed by most printers without supports.
