3D printed clip-on guitar pick holder. Attaches to most standard guitar and microphone stands with diameters of 22 to 28 mm (~7/8 to ~1-1/8 inches). Compatible with thin (0.4 mm) through extra heavy (1.2 to 2.0 mm) picks. Holds the pick securely but can also be easily repositioned without tools. The curved design makes it easy to grab the pick without pulling off the pick holder.
Printed from PETG because the material can flex to conform to the pick and stand while not losing grip over time due to material creep (a limitation of commonly used PLA). A single pick holder takes 9 minutes to print and uses only 2.1 grams of material.
Prototypes were printed and tested using a variety of guitar picks with different thicknesses and shapes. The design was iteratively refined to find a balance between grip and compatibility with the widest variety of picks.
The pick holder can be printed in a variety of colors and can be used to color code picks. Using different colors can be useful for distinguishing between similar looking picks, especially in dim venues.
