Title: Mini Pencil Case for 6 – Fits 7.2mm x 100mm Short Pencils

Description:

Perfect for travel, pocket-sized creativity, or younger hands, this compact print-in-place case holds 6 standard thin pencils (approximately 7.2mm diameter, 100mm length). Whether it's a small coloring set for restaurants or a starter pack for little artists, this mini case keeps everything organized and together.

The Problem:
Short pencils and small art sets are the first to get lost. They arrive in flimsy blister packs that don't close, or tiny cardboard boxes that fall apart within days. They roll off tables, hide in couch cushions, and vanish into the mysterious "junk drawer" where single pencils go to die alone.

The Solution:
This little case changes everything. When kids can see every pencil at once and each one has its own home, they actually put things back. Sets stay complete. Colors stay together. No more hunting for that one specific shade.

Features:

• 6-Slot Capacity: Perfect for small coloring sets, travel kits, or starter packs.

• Designed for 7.2mm x 100mm Pencils: Fits standard thin pencils—round, hexagonal, or triangular.

• Print-in-Place Hinge & Lock: Prints as one complete piece—no assembly, no hardware.

• Secure Snap Closure: Stays firmly shut in backpacks or pockets.

• Individual Grips: Each pencil snaps into its own holder—no rattling, no rolling.

• Instant Visibility: Open it and see your entire mini collection immediately.

• Pocket-Friendly Size: Compact enough for travel, restaurant bags, or small hands.

⚠️ Critical Print Settings for Success:

• Material: PETG is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. The hinge and locking clip need excellent layer adhesion. PLA is often too brittle for the small mechanism.

• Calibration is Crucial: Weak layer bonding = broken clips. Ensure your printer is dialed in.

• Infill: 10–50% (20–30% is sufficient).

• Supports: No.

• Brim: No.

• Orientation: Print as provided—the mechanism works straight off the build plate.
