    Default Card Pen Cradle

    Hi all,

    I just made a simple pen cradle which you can print on card or on paper, then stick on card, cut along dotted lines and assemble into a small pen cradle. You can get two pen cradles in one shot. I have made it in credit-card size (8X5 cm), so please print it at 100% (no scaling). I wasnt able to print it out and make one since I am travelling, so I will be glad if someone could do the initial beta testing. C & C will be welcome. :-)

    I build a lot of paper models, so I got inspired while looking at a ship cradle that i had made. Hope it will be useful. Since it is card sized, you can carry a couple in your wallet while travelling, so you can use your clipless pens.

    Instructions:
    1. Cut along the dotted lines. DO NOT FOLD anywhere. Simply take your scissors or blade and cut along the dotted lines.
    2. You will get eight pieces, which are numbered 1-8. Each will have two slots cut into them.
    3. Take pieces 1, 2, 3, and 4.
    4. Slot the pieces 3 and 4 perpendicular to the pieces 1 and 2, as shown in the pic.
    5. Repeat with pieces 5-8.
    6. You have two pen cradles. :-)

    Please do not use this for commercial use. This is just a thank-you to all you wonderful ppl out there. :-)

    Regards,
    Subramaniyam

    So an old credit card could be used also, I guess. I have a phone stand I made out of a credit card that I EDC and this sounds like it might work for EDC too.

    Yes it does. :-) That is why I made it credit card sized. Please bear with me. I will post the instructions in 5 minutes. :-)

    And if you merge this with a nice graphic design you would have a really nice pen cradle!
