This is a custom replacement shavings catcher designed to securely lock onto standard 19mm pencil sharpener housings. Unlike standard friction-fit cups that can accidentally pop off and spill in your bag, this version features a quarter-turn bayonet mount for a reliable, positive lock. The rounded bottom makes it comfortable to hold and easy to slip into a pencil case.
What it's for
- Ideal for students, artists, and woodworkers who need a reliable way to contain pencil shavings on the go.
- Great for upgrading cheap bare-metal sharpeners or replacing lost, flimsy, or breakable original plastic bins.
- An excellent travel companion to keep your work bag or art kit clean from messy graphite dust and wood flakes.
Dimensions
- Overall Size: 50mm outer diameter by 30mm overall height, providing plenty of volume for multiple pencils.
- Mounting Interface: Specifically designed with internal bayonet tabs spaced for a standard 19mm sharpener housing, featuring a precise 19.6mm clearance to ensure a smooth twist fit.
- Internal Shape: Features a slightly sloped interior base to help pack shavings neatly and make it easy to empty.
Remix ideas
- Bigger Capacity: Increase the depth of the cup from 30mm to 50mm or 70mm for heavy-duty sharpening sessions without frequent emptying.
- Textured Grip: Add a knurled, grooved, or faceted texture to the outside of the cup for better grip when twisting the sharpener on and off.
- Different Sharpeners: Adjust the top opening and bayonet tabs to accommodate a larger 22mm or dual-hole sharpener assembly.
