A friend at work asked me if I could print a stand for a painted rose sculpture he had. I said sure, just give me a drawing of what you have in mind. He did, and not finding anything on Thingiverse that would fit what he needed, I designed it in 123D Design.

It's a simple V-shaped holder with a dome base. It could be scaled to make it suitable for pens, pencils or other long tubular objects.

Printed in Polyalchemy Elixir Abyss filament. That stuff really has a great shine. No post-printing work needed.
