Important Printing Information

This is a digital 3D-printable design.

Final print quality and fit may vary depending on printer, nozzle, filament, calibration, layer height, wall settings, top-surface settings, bed adhesion, color-change setup, orientation, and slicer profile.

Because the design includes a fitted sticky-note recess, pen channel, detailed lettering, and multicolor artwork, always inspect the sliced preview carefully before printing.

Sticky-note pads and pens can vary slightly between manufacturers, so normal FDM tolerances may affect the final fit.

Do not force an oversized sticky-note pad or pen into the holder if the fit is excessively tight. Printer calibration, filament shrinkage, scaling, and dimensional variation can all affect the finished dimensions.

Sandstorm 3D Designs is not responsible for failed prints, wasted filament, adhesion failures, color-change problems, incorrect slicer settings, printer malfunctions, dimensional variation, sticky-pad incompatibility, pen-fit issues, or other printing-related losses.

Files are supplied as-is, and the user is responsible for selecting suitable materials, printer settings, and final use.

Sticky Pad & Pen Compatibility

This holder is designed around a standard sticky-note style pad, but sticky notes from different brands may vary in overall dimensions, paper count, adhesive placement, and thickness.

Before committing to a large print run, it is a good idea to test your intended pad and pen with the finished holder.

The pen channel is intended for normal writing instruments of a compatible size. Very thick, oversized, unusually shaped, or heavily textured pens may not fit properly.

Filament & Care

PLA is generally suitable for normal indoor desk and workshop use but may soften or deform when exposed to excessive heat, prolonged direct sunlight, or hot vehicles.

PETG or another suitable filament may provide additional durability or temperature resistance depending on the environment.

Keep the finished holder away from open flames, heaters, hot tools, welding areas, and other excessive heat sources.

Clean gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals unless they are compatible with the filament used.

Normal FDM characteristics such as visible layer lines, minor seams, and slight surface or dimensional variation should be expected.

Safety & Intended Use

This design is intended as a light-duty desktop organizer for sticky notes and a compatible pen.

It is not designed as a structural, load-bearing, safety-critical, or high-temperature product.

Inspect the finished print before use and discontinue use if cracking, sharp edges, warping, loose decorative details, or other damage develops.

Keep the holder on a reasonably stable surface and away from locations where it may be exposed to excessive heat, chemicals, or machinery.
