Apple Pencil Holder

- tvollaro

I received my new iPad Pro back in November when it came out – and the Apple Pencil soon after. While I love this new stylus, there is no where on the iPad to store it. Considering its $99 cost (and my penchant to lose things) I really wanted a way to store it in transit. I realize that there a number of cases coming on the market with stylus holders, but what fun is that? So here is my very quick 3D printed solution on Thingiverse with a small strip of flexible magnet glued on the inside to hold it in place. It works wherever there is magnet within the iPad Pro bezel. I may modify this design to incorporate stronger magnets in the future.

Cigar Box Ukulele – My first Thingiverse Remix!

I posted my first “remix” on Thingiverse today. A cigar box ukulele based on two similar ukes that I found. The neck on this one  is too big to fit on my Replicator2 bed. So, I redesigned the geared head so that it slots into the neck in this Soprano Ukulele. I had to completely remodel the neck and head in Fusion 360. However, I was able to reuse the geared tuners and bridge from one and the fretboard from another.  If you would like to remix further, you can download the head, neck and sound hole files from my Autodesk 360 site. Although the action is a bit high and the scale length is a bit off – It still sounds pretty sweet! Check out the video below.
