3D model description

I am Teleworking and have a small desk area to work on. I had pens shoved here and there under my laptop, keyboard etc.. I wanted to have them accessible and out of the way.
I use a regular keyboard and noticed one day, while looking at my laptop there was plenty of space around the track pad on the macbook with no ports or side speakers. I thought I could design a simple pen holder to hold my Apple pencil and various pens and pencils. Even hold my bic white-out roller.

There are five holes for pens or pencils. an area for a standard size post-it pad and two snap ends to snap an Apple pencil onto the end. The holder slides onto the bottom sides of the laptop. The holder is designed to slide onto the laptop to the front right side of the track pad. The holder can also be attached to the other side but the Apple logo cutout will not be shown, which will leave a flat surface for a post-it pad. This can also be achieved by turning the holder upside down on the right side as well. The apple pen is attached to the side of the holder by snapping it into the two snap ends on the side ends of the holder. The holder will fit onto a Macbook pro 2018 or any mackbook with a 11mm depth. I have a Dell Latitude which the holder also fits on snuggly.

There are 4 versions of the holder. The Ver3 is for non-Apple users who do not want the logo on their laptop real estate. I have also entered diameters of the holes and pencil holder for those who want to tinker the file to their needs for different pens and stylus's.

Prusa MK3
PLA
.2mm resolution
.6mm nozzle * Will work fine with .4 nozzle as well.
0% infill, but at least 10% infill with gyroid fill to make it more rigid. 0% infill is no problem but does make the holder easily moveable if the laptop is placed vertically. Or you can put some pieces of the fuzzy side velcro on one inner side to give it more of a snug fit.

215/70 Extruder/bed
No supports except for those holding the Apple pencil snap ends in place. These supports are already part of the design, so there is no need to add them in your slicer. The supports can be easily broken off by hand or nipped off for more aesthetic look.

The diameter of the holes are as follows for anyone who wants to readjust the holes in the stl file.
Bottom 2 holes are 12mm and spaced 88mm from the open end.
Top 5 holes are 11mm and spaced and spaced 89mm from the open end.

The diameter of the snap on Apple Pencil holder is as follows:
Plastic snap is 14mm
Inner void is 8.9mm
