Frank the Frog

My new Pen holder design!

Allow me to introduce you to Frank the Frog pen holder! He will keep you from losing your pen!

I bought a pack of 100 BIC pens a while ago and I had to save the very last one that remains. I have no clue where the other 99 went. You know how stores keep their pens on a string? Yeah, that is not going to work because I have to write stuff down elsewhere, too. This gave me an idea! Instead of a string this design used an emotional attachment to keep you from misplacing your pen. Frank will be deeply sad if you don’t bring back his property!

This project resulted in a ton of prototypes because I wanted this mechanism to work flawlessly with default settings and no support. You don’t even need an AMS, all single-color parts. The BIC pen is the most common pen in the world, and you will already have one at home. If you don’t, these cost close to nothing and are identical all over the world.

The design is printed in under 3 hours and only uses about 80 grams of filament. Frank already has a special place in my heart because he is so cute. I am 100% certain that this solves my pen problem long term because I can’t make this little cutie sad.
