About this print
A desk pen and pencil holder based on a hyperboloid geometric form, with angled slots arranged to hold up to 16 writing instruments. The mathematical surface gives the piece a distinctive structural appearance well suited to home office or studio use. PLA prints this shape reliably and provides the rigidity needed to support a full set of pens or pencils without flexing.

Holds 16 pencils that have diameter up to 8 mm. You might want to scale the STL model up if you need larger holes!
If you edit the parameters, be careful not to create an angle where the pens intersect!
Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.
Printing Hyperboloid pen holder
For Hyperboloid pen holder we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
