Julius Caesar Bust Pen Holder

Julius Caesar bust-shaped pen holder
Holds 7 pens. The 4 upper holes hold pens up to 13mm in diameter, the holes below hold slightly larger pens
The holes are quite large so it can also be printed smaller
The bust is about 183mm tall. THOSE WHO HAVE A Bambu Lab A1 mini MUST APPLY A SCALE FACTOR (about 95%). The pen holes will reduce to about 12.35mm. The same scale factor must be applied to all components in all directions
As shown in the exploded drawing, 6 components are provided
1 the bust
2 the pin cap
3 the pin
4 the capital
5 the base
6 the base plate cover

The pin (3) and the base (5) are hollow to allow weights to be inserted, if desired (not necessary). I put a 100 gram fishing weight in the pin
The added weight makes the object more pleasant and when placed on a surface it does not move when a pen is inserted
The pin cavity has a diameter of 21 mm and a height of 63 mm; the edges of the cylinder are rounded. You can see the measurements in the photo. Keep in mind that in printing the actual diameter will probably be about 0.1mm smaller
The pin has a right-hand thread on one side and a left-hand thread on the other side

To assemble it
- insert the weight (if desired) into the pin (3)
- glue the pin cap (2) onto the pin (3)
- screw the pin (3) onto the base (5) by making 3 turns
- insert the capital (4) onto the pin (3)
- screw the bust (1) onto the pin (3) by making 3 turns
- align the bust (1) with the base (5)
- keeping the bust (1) aligned with the base (5) rotate the capital so that the bust (1) approaches the base (5)
- glue the base plate cover (6) to the base (5)

It takes longer to read than to do
The pin cap must be glued to the pin; the bottom plate must be glued to the base. All the rest does not need to be glued but if you want, you can put a drop of glue
Underneath the base I glued a rectangle of adhesive neoprene

I made it in multiple components to be able to insert the weight and to easily use different materials/colors
For the bust I used overture rock PLA filament

Supports are placed behind the head and on the neck. Behind the head they are a bit more difficult to remove also because the PLA I used was a bit pasty, but any residue camouflages itself in the hair

I used a Scan The World scan ( https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-portrait-of-julius-caesar-at-the-state-hermitage-museum-st-petersburg-19913 ) of a real statue of Julius Caesar in the Hermitage Museum
