Description

I made this pencil holder based on the pipes from original Super Mario Bros game levels.

My main idea was to reflect it as real as possible to the one displayed in the game, I saw other models just based on the pipe but with different proportions, so I followed a real image from the game to design it.

This screenshot is extracted from Fusion 360, I used a canvas to extract the dimensions and mimic them in the 3D model:

The dimensions of the pot printed at 100% is 12cm. tall and 8cm. wide, with a hole of 6cm. in diameter and 10cm. deep.

The floor part has the tile design in all the sides, it looks great from anywhere ;)

I created it in two parts so both can printed without supports, printing the pipe upside down. The assembly is simple, just put the pipe inside the hole of the floor part, you can use some glue to keep it fixed forever but it is not needed.

Important: remember to print the pipe upside down so no supports are needed.

I hope you like and enjoy it at least as much as I did creating it, thanks for visiting my model!

UPDATE: example of both base models together, the perfect couple:
