These 3D printed pencil holders are incredible works of art my friend!

Nine hours is not bad on the Ender. What layer height did you use? 0.2 mm? The layering looks good. Lately I've been having issues with layering on this machine, never-ending issue.

I also just came to this realization looking at your photographs, that 3D printing is quite suitable for printing replicas of certain human body parts because the layering naturally emulates the lines in the hands. Very cool.

You achieved a lot this year and I wish you the best for your goals next year as well!
