3D pipe holders

[MLBbreton]

My tobacco buddy made me these pipe holders and put them in the box. Pretty cool and makes for better pictures.

Nice thoughtful gift

I have seen those STL files around but I havnt printed any of them yet. Do you have a favorite?

I like the foldy one the best. The others are touchy on how the pipe is shaped.

He made me brown, black and wood grained ones.

I wish he could make me a rack but it's too hard. I'll have to build some out of wood. Too many pipes to keep track of in little felt bags.

I've found those "foldy" pipe holders best, too. In cheap plastic. But I'd love to find a sculpture or carving of a pretty girl or some such to have as my pipe rest. Anyone have any such thing? I've seen a few antique things like a dog and a shoe, etc. None of which spoke to me as aesthetic sculptures or carvings. Anyone?

Let me see what my friend can whip up on his printer.

Wow, these were made on a 3D printer?!

Yes. I have a friend who's been a lifetime smoker and can't quit. So I got him to join me with smoking a pipe. Cut his cigarettes in half .
He is a total nerd and builds extravagant N scale railroads-cities and businesses for his towns. He lives on that 3D printer.
He's hooked on pipes now so I reap the benefits.
Some of his stuff. He prints and wires the switches.

I bought him tobacco and restored a couple of pipes that he forgot to open because he got this forklift from Germany for his warehouse.

We're going to go through models this weekend and see what we can convert to cool pipe holders. I'll post pics and links to the models when I'm done.

That sounds really cool, I'd love to see the pipe holders that come out of that effort.

Not much luck finding a file to modify. I may have to learn to code the files myself then modify someones existing file. The only art skills I have becides appreciating it.

Not wanting to show up empty handed.
Take a trip on Wayne's Trains.



And it even has a pipe in it.

I love trains, really want to be able to have a setup like that
