DNA Helix Pencil Holder

(Wow! It appears this is used as a prop in Netflix series "3 Body Problem") See the latest Make that I posted with photos clipped from Season 1 Episode 1. This is my first time as a prop designer :). Btw, I loved the 3 Body Problem series, I hope we have a season 2 soon. <Updated with a little tongue and groove to help place the two halves and provide better capillary action when glueing. Much thanks to user Ridley for the design tip! > This is a "two parts in one print" design with no raft or supports needed. Print the "DNA_Helix_Pencil_Holder_Full_06.stl" STL file - After print, remove two parts from print bed. a. bottom of helix is outer print b. top of helix is inner print. - (Optional) Use "DNA_Helix_Pencil_Holder_Optional_U_Snaps.stl" x 2 on the outside of the helix to secure the top and bottom parts together. These are pressure-fit snaps that fit on the outside of the Helix. Use a screwdriver to gently lever them out if you need to remove them. - Assemble with glue, or your favorite adhesive to make the bond permanent. (I used super glue). With the snaps in place glue may be optional. - Insert Pencils and display. - Take a picture and post on Thingiverse :)
