A fully customizable cylindrical stand with a slot to see the full height. It’s designed for eye pencils where the color preview is typically at the top of the pencil, but it can of course work for any sort of pencil, pen, perfume testers, or other set of items that have roughly the same diameter.

It’s recommended to first print a small test to check all your pencils fit properly. For a very small sample this can be done in under 15 minutes.

The default sizes worked for me for eye pencils, but almost everything can be customized using the openscad customizer.
