Sharpie and Highlighter Pen Rack

UPDATED 14/09/2024

This rack has been amended and is designed to securely hold 2 pens, 2 x Uni-Bell pens 2x pencils, 3 highlighter pens, 6 x USB Thumb Drives, 5 Sharpie pens and a small Tube of Pritt Stick, all using 2x Command hook-and-loop hanging strips for easy attachment to a vertical surface. 

The original version will remain for those who require the smaller model.

I created this solution due to limited space in my study, where I had previously been using Blu Tack to fix my pens to the inside of a small cupboard door. With this design, the pens are organized neatly and accessibly, while maximizing available space. After printing, simply attach the Command strips to mount the rack in your desired location.

There is a small cut-out (2mmx6mm) on the back of the rack, this is because my cupboard door is rebated, and as such the original rack moved very slightly, so this will hopefully resolve this issue.  Now if you wish to remove it then you will find the cut-out in the BaseRightView Sketch in the timeline of the Fusion 360 file. I don’t think it will affect your model when it comes to fixing it to your vertical surface.

If anyone finds it an issue just DM me and I’ll make the emendation for you.
