ROTATING pen pot

Rotating Pen Holder!

Use 6 mm BB gun balls as bearings — they work amazingly well. Assemble both rings and add about 20–30 BBs. Once put together, apply firm pressure to the ring and rotate it several times to loosen everything up.

The pen pot has a support cross inside; you can simply break it out after printing. For some mysterious reason, my nozzle sometimes pushes the pot off the print bed (maybe that cursed magenta Bambu PLA?). Keeping the cross helps it stick better during printing.

FOR BEST RESULTS PRINT THE BEARING PART AS FINE AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN (eg 0,2mm nozzle recommended!!88!

The whole design slides together easily — very straightforward.

I made this for my mom. Because I’m a good son.
