This pencil holder combines molecular geometry with functional desk storage. Inspired by the C180 Buckyball structure, the design inverts and distorts the classic geodesic form into a practical organizer. The distinctive nested sphere design makes it an eye-catching addition to any workspace.

The holder features two interlocking 180-atom Buckyballs—a larger outer structure with a smaller sphere nested inside. This dual-layer design creates visual depth and structural interest while keeping your desk organized. The geometry is sophisticated yet accessible, making it a conversation piece for design enthusiasts and scientists alike.

Printed in two parts for ease of production, the pieces are assembled and glued together to create the finished piece. OpenSCAD code is included, allowing you to customize dimensions, adjust the geometry, or adapt the design to your specific needs.
