Pen Pal (Sharpie Case)

I had an idea for this Sharpie case that looks like a Sharpie. As I drafted the proportions of a Sharpie that can hold roughly 6 Sharpies (half a standard Sharpie box) I decided my Sharpie really looked like it should have a friendly Sharpie face. In the end I found that my Sharpie can hold as many as 8 standard fine point Sharpies (as pictured), but you may need to jiggle a little to get the lid on the Sharpie with that many Sharpies inside.

Print Settings (as in the gcode):

• Layer Height: 0.2
• Infill: 10% support cubic combine every 2 layers
• No supports

Pictured Filaments are Jessie PLA in Black and "Vanilla Bean Ice Cream"

Notes:

The body and lid are a friction fit joint because I wanted it to be like a proper Sharpie (last time, I promise), but the layer lines can make removing the lid difficult sometimes. A little twist does the trick though. I'm not sure I'd trust the friction fit to stay closed if put in a bag, but if you like to live dangerously like that I'd recommend 4 perimeters to strengthen the clip on the lid.
