Pen organizer inspired by mailbox design

  1. Hi All,

    I have designed this mailbox inspired Pen organizer and I want to hear what you think about it, I haven't seen any thing like this before except for IKEA where they use it for those small pencils. Should I make any adjustments?

    I added your image to your post so you should get more responses

    Are you planning on printing on a makerbot (because your image says makerbot) or through SW? Through SW, I'd say I'd remove some material. Being that big is going to be pricey. So you have walls that are a mesh design instead of solid. Then you'll also see how many pens people have borrowed and not returned.
     
  3. Thanks for adding my image to the post.

    Im planning on printing on makerbot, a friend of mine owns a makerbot. The mesh design is a great idea.
    Is there a easy way to make the walls have this mesh design?

    1) I'm glad you were able to use my instructable :)
    2) Looks good to me, does it look the way you want?
     
  7. I think it looks better now and the design is more unique and interesting. Thanks for the guidance and quick feedback.
