This is a protective case for tablet pencils, and it has become one of my favorite designs. I bring it almost everywhere I travel, and it has held up well so far.
Features include:
- Pen protection:
The main reason I created the case. I wanted something to protect the pencil when I was travelling. It also makes the pencil harder to lose! - Tablet stand:
The case can be used to give a slight angle to your tablet, improving the ergonomics when sketching. - Two different types of pen stand:
Instead of letting your pencil rolling away on the table, I included two different ways to place it in the case. Leaning the pencil against the case or standing upright. - Adapter storage:
I tend to (almost) lose the adapter all the time. Since the battery in the pencil is quite weak and charging the pencil in the tablet is a recipe for disaster, I added a small slot for the adapter inside the case. I now always bring the adapter with me, and most important, I know where it is...

GENERAL INFORMATION
- To prevent the pencil from moving inside the case, I recommend cutting a small piece of dish sponge and stuff it in the bottom of the case.
- The case in the pictures has been sanded and painted. It looks fine without, but it really gives the case a really nice finish.

PRINT SETTINGS
- Print both components in the default orientation. This orientation will ensure that you won't need support material.
- Do not use support material! This is especially important on "case.stl" since you won't be able to remove the support material behind the button.
- I recommend a 2mm wall thickness to make sure the spring for the button is solid. An infill of 50% or more is preferable, It's not needed but I think it gives the case a more "sturdy" feel.
