Flexible Pencils ✏️

There is only one publication and even that was written in 2022.🙂
It's time to fix that.

🙌🙌

Some time ago I made a fidget in the shape of a cassette. A subscriber reminded me about it on Discord. You could say the flexible pencil is a continuation of the cassette theme, the sketch was made a long time ago.

I like the episode in SpongeBob 👀🧽 where the artist loses his pencil in the sea. I was guided by its color and shape.

Print without supports, AMS/ACE is not needed (except for the green strip on the aluminum sleeve).

It can be assembled without glue. However, for reliability, I advise using glue.

When assembling the parts wood.stl and pencil.stl, pay attention to the Y pattern; it must be aligned.

The eraser has an option with a hole so it can be used as a keychain 🔑

I also made several versions of pencils, perhaps one of the firms is popular in your country: Dixon, Koh-I-Noor, Конструктор and Staedtler.

Btw, for printing core.stl it is better to use not perfectly black filament, but dark gray, it looks more natural, in my case the filament is called "wet asphalt".

Assembly is simple, for reliability use glue 💧

I also made a flexible pencil clicker.

alu.stl must be glued to pencil.stl

Here also be guided by the Y mark, which is applied to wood.stl and pencil.stl.

As a mechanical switch, I use an Outemu blue switch (a clone of Cherry MX).

I made two versions, inspired by the Dixon pencil and the magic pencil from SpongeBob, with an anchor.
