I dislike clutter on my desk, so I made an Apple Pencil charging dock that attaches to the side of my monitor with 3M command strips [Large, see link below].

The dock sticks to a wall or any other surface and provides an organized way to store and charge the Apple Pencil, the cap, and the adapter. Your cap sits securely on a plug built into the dock. The adapter fits nicely into the center and can be removed by pushing it out with the plug-tip of the pencil and the slot on the side.

This is designed for the Apple brand charging adapter and usb cable.

3M strips that I used: http://a.co/7Q65eCL
\n These allow me to move the charger around since they are similar to velcro.

Update (Dec 18 2017): Tightened the space for the cable and pencil slightly to ensure a snug fit.

Print instructions

Supports: Yes
\nYou will need to print this with support material unfortunately. But it's just for the cap-holder at the end. I know Cura has a setting to only print support material that touches the build plate, and that worked great for me.

How I Designed This

Requirements

Easy to access pencil
\n Charge enabled
\n No desk-space needed
\n Holds Pencil Cap
\n Able to easily remove parts
\n Fits 3M command strips
\n Does not look like anything but itself

Notes

I left the chamber for the pencil rather short, because the tray that extends should be enough to keep the pencil from being damaged from unexpected jostling.

It took several prints to get the tolerances right. I printed ones that were too loose, and one that I had to saw in half to remove the adapter. :/

I added the slot over the chambers to ensure I wouldn't have to cut another print in half to get my adapter. It also adds some elasticity so things slide in more easily. I also realized the lightning plug on the pencil is a great tool to slide down the slot (like a credit card reader) to dislodge the adapter.

I still need to handle the cord somehow. I'd like it to route it off to the side.

Feedback is appreciated!
