Modular Sharpie/Pen Caddy

Hello and thank you for replying. I went ahead and used the design as is and although loose, it worked as needed. Thank you kindly but I respectfully withdraw the request. I am trying hard to understand Inkscape well enough to tweak lines, scale, etc. Sorry for the trouble.

Humbly,
William

THANK YOU for sharing your great design. for some reason, between downloading the file, opening it in AI and uploading to GF, the whole scale reduced. I eye-balled enlarging it in GF so the overall layout was the same as what I was seeing in AI, and it miraculously worked. I just assembled this for my daughter for Christmas.

Welcome to glowforge forum!
I just wanted to say I’m learning inkscape too. I understand your question.
I hate it when people make rude comments. Ignore him!

That’s rad

Thank you kindly for the welcome. :slight_smile:

Thanks so much for this design. It fits together perfectly. Took me a bit to figure out how to put it together, but when I got it I was like duhhhh…thanks again.

This is fantastic! It’ll save me having to store mine upside down all the time, which is a pain when you want to search for a specific colour! Cheers!

What a brilliant design! I made one, put it together easily and then made more racks and as you say, if you keep the orientation consistent, it’s easy to stack them! Brilliant stuff - as a newbie - it gives me confidence when things are this simple! Thanks again!

I’m a newbie and just made your pen caddy. As a crafter I always needed a sharpie holder, to show the color I want to use. Before it’s in a drawer. This makes crafting a lot easier. Thank you for a great laser cut.

I just got a large set of paint pens and was not looking forward to trying to design a box for them. Woooohooooo thank you sooooo much and love that they stack instead of the upright types. THANK YOU!!! :0)

I have had trouble recently with stuff from AI shrinking. I went back to Graphic.

When you save or export the SVG, be sure that the “responsive” option in the settings is unchecked, because that will mess with the scale.

Okay. I don’t recall seeing anything like that because I’m using the AI on iPad, which probably means it’s hidden somewhere. I will look . Thanks!

And you just helped me with a problem I’ve been been having for days so that’s for that as well as the svg file
