Choose any text you want to make a pencil holder or letter sculpture.
UPDATE: coming soon: can calculate spacing for each letter pair based on the letter widths, so it doesn't have to be done manually.
This is an easier to use and more general design than my previous pencil holders. It's strangely pleasing to have little word sculptures.
To fit standard pencils, scale the Z-height to 11 mm before printing the .stl.file.
See Instructions for some tips on customizing.
BrandonW6 had a similar idea for a 3D text pen last year:

It's quite nice, with a different, retro font, upper and lower case, and spaces allowed between letters.
And whpthomas improved it for Bic pens and added a cap:
