Aloe Vera Pen Plant - Came out great! - 3d model

Aloe Vera Pen Plant - It’s really cool but not functional. The pen holes are all either too big or too small. I have to drill some and add hot glue to some. The spines have sharp points which would make it very difficult to use as a pen. The lids don’t stay on at all. - 3d model

Aloe Vera Pen Plant - Finally got my print finished, it turned out great after I figured out the scaling issue. - 3d model

Aloe Vera Pen Plant - How do you get the pen in the leaf? Also magnets don’t fit. I am using a Bambu printer. - 3d model

Aloe Vera Pen Plant - Printed with Hatchbox white pla and Eryone olive green pla. Opted to paint the spots on later tos ave filament. I didn’t have any red clay-like filament so I made my own white geometric planter that I scaled to fit the insert in blender.
Tips: Hit the stem holes with a heat gun on low for maybe 10 secs each to make it easier to get the pens down in them.
Bore out the caps with a small rasp/file or exactly knife for a better fit. I’ve still got a few to fine tune.
Once you get magnets in the base, give each installed magnet a pair and mark the outward face with a sharpie so you don’t install it wrong into the stem.
Use a flat surface on a pair of pliers to persuade the magnets into the holes easier.
If you dial in your printer this all fits together very well! I printed mine across an A1, an A1 Mini and a K1 Max and everything is fairly snug and lines up well. Great design! Kudos Forge! Thanks for sharing. - 3d model
