3D Printed Distress Marker Pen Rack File - Free to Download

Since I published this photo of the 3D printed pen racks that Si designed and printed for me I've had lots of requests from people asking if he could make a set for them.

Sadly it takes about 5 hours to print just 1 of the racks, you'd need 10 for all the Distress Markers, so it will take 50 hours total to print enough layers to house all the Distress Markers.

Its not beyond the scope of things to make a set but the time involved means the cost would be high. It doesn't take long to print the Wreath Templates by comparison he can do a few sets of those per night.

With the time/cost in mind my wonderful fella has agreed to make the .stl files required to print the racks available so that other people who have access to a 3D Printer will be able to get their own set of racks printed.

As well as Distress Markers, the racks can also hold Stampin Up's 'Stampin Write' markers, and Arteza 'Real Brush Pens'. Each layer is designed to slide into the one below so make the complete like sturdy and stop the racks sliding apart they are 10cm wide x 15cm long and they can be added to over time so if Tim releases any new colours in the future you can add another rack to your stack to accommodate the new colours.

You can get Zig Real Brush Markers in the slots also, but as they are shorter pens they are not so easy to get out. Si is going to tweak the files to make the rakcs shorter to accommodate shorter pens and wider so pens like Promarkers, Aqua Flow Pens and Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens can be stored on them. Once these files are complete I'll add them to download as well.

Download The Pen Tray.stl Here. If you have trouble downloading the file then send me a message via my Facebook shop Cook's Craft Supplies I will send you the file via facebook message so you can print a set of racks for yourself.  I'll add the links to larger size pen trays as soon as hubby has had time to get them done.

  3. They look brilliant so im sure would suit many other crafters - i would have to have room for trays in the first place. You and Si are a clever couple! Emmax
