Good idea. Instead of using plastic and harming the environment, have some other guy use plastic to make it and then ship it to you all the way from China.
Or just don't make a useless pen holder of of plastic in the first fucking place. Cut open a soda can or some shit. I don't fucking know, but people are making me out to be some kind of monster for telling people not to needlessly use plastic. What the fuck.
It's cause you're coming across like an A-hole. Why are you even hanging out in the 3D printing community if you don't think people should be printing things?
I'm not saying that people can't print things, I'm just saying that if you want a pipe, you can just go and buy a pipe. There is no need to print one out.
But that's not what pipes really look like outside of cartoons. You can't run down to Home Depot and but Mario World pipe to use as a pen holder. Maybe someday, but not today.

Paint it green, glue a piece of cork into the bottom to seal it. I bet everyone will know what it is.
Do you actually wanna discuss this or do you just want to rant at people like a jerk? I'll gladly discuss it calmly but you're being a total jerk.

You are insufferable, why are you even here? Never mind I won't read your answer.
