#3Dprinted doodad at #makersasylum for holding whiteboard markers at a more ergonomic angle without drying out the inktip. Prolly needs a few tweaks and iterations. The springy bits to hold the pen and marker are not as springy in PLA. Maybe I need to try TPU.

The #makersasylum #AMS for the @bambulabglobal.bsky.social #P1S 3d printer had a broken off piece of filament that clogged up the delivery tube. Just 2 screws to disassemble the unit & clear the offending piece. Pretty nice, clean design.
