It looks great! If you like to share, upload the model to thingiverse!
I would love to download a pencil holder.

Is it a multi part print? Looks like it would be a support nightmare all in one piece.

That looks good! And there's no shame in using 0.9mm lead, my friend. There must be dozens of us!

I was at an art store yesterday and they had the 0.9 draftmatic, and I really loved the color on it. I don't have anything over 0.5, might have to change that...

Have a look at the Twist Erase III in 0.9mm (it also comes in 0.5 and 0.7). The grip is quite comfortable and it has the best mechanical pencil eraser ever.

Do you have any experiences with long term reliability of such a usefull 3d printed object? Will it hold its shape over years, or will it slowly start bending after some month?

I don’t. It’s ABS that was liquid so im sure there are internal stresses. I think all unannealed solids will “creep” over time. Even stone.

It looks good!
