I felt like 3d printing again this week, so I made this cool EOS pen holder that you also can use as a make-up holder for all your brushes. I really love the color but most of all I like the structure/ pattern that you see. Without the structure, I think it would look a bit boring and too simple.

I actually wanted to print it out much bigger, but I saw on Slic3r that it would take 48 hours :-(. So I scaled it to 60%.

I really love the structure and I was really touching and feeling it all the time. It just feels very pleasant :-D. This pen holder was a real success as you can see :-).

Fusion 360 Tutorial

The first thing I did on Fusion 360 was importing an image of the EOS logo and traced the lines by selecting Skecth > Line.

Excess lines I removed with Trim.

After trimming all excess lines it is ready to be used.

I extruded the EOS logo with 65 mm high.

Creating the sections, I had to extrude the logo again with 60 mm using operation Cut . But this time only the inner parts of the logo. I also change the colour of the body by right clicking on the created body and select Appearance. From there on, you can change the colour and also the material of the created body.

To get that nice structure, I sketched a square first and extruded it with 5 mm and a tapered angle of -60 mm. It first had a tapered angle of -50 mm but I decided to change it and make it more pointy. I used operation New Body so I didn't combine the little square with the EOS logo yet.

To get that square everywhere around the EOS Pen Holder, I made a pattern of that square ( Create > Pattern > Rectangular pattern). I overlapped the squares a bit so it would look much nicer.

The squares here are not connected yet to the EOS Pen Holder.

With the Combine function, the squares can be joined together with the EOS Pen Holder.

There was still 1 thing to do before I could start printing this. I softened the edges by giving them fillets of 5 mm.

The original size of this EOS Pen holder was around 20 cm and 10 cm high, but because 48 hours of printing is too long for me, I scaled it with 60%.

Because i scaled it with 60%, it took the printer "just" around 16 hours.

With lots of glue on the heated bed and Brim I could prevent the print from warping.

The 3D printed EOS Pen/Make-up holder looks perfect and I love the structure and the colour.

It's a real eye catcher and I like the fact that I printed out something functional.
