Excellent idea!
I like the combination of common objects and 3D printing!

Thanks... I was looking for a way to create bigger objects, without making them prohibitively expensive (I sort of managed...), and went looking for things with worldwide availability. It took a bit of experimenting but now the pencils have a really snug fit.

Wow, great idea, congratulations

I've seen this as a lighting concept before...

Hadn't seen that one before- thanks for spotting. There is some similarity in the idea, but I think the execution and rationale are different enough to make this concept stand on its own.
