A solid block with a row (or a grid) of round holes on top and a window right through the middle. Pens and brushes drop through the top and stand in their own sockets in the thick base, so they don't lean on each other and the holder stays light. One colour, STL or 3MF.

Printing
Print it standing on its base, as it comes out of the generator. The top of the window is a bridge; at the default size any decent printer handles it, but if you stretch the holder past 200 mm, turn on supports for that span.
Common use cases
- Pencil and pen holders for a desk
- Brush organisers (paint, make-up, hobby)
- Screwdriver and bit holders
- Small kitchen utensil caddies
Tips
- For tall pens set Height to at least 60-80 mm so they stay upright.
- For mixed objects raise the hole diameter and use fewer rows and columns.
- If the walls feel thin, raise Wall thickness to 5-6 mm.
