A pen, pencil, and/or marker holder for your fridge. In the shape of Tux the penguin, a.k.a. the Linux mascot.
I flattened the back of @cipis's penguin (which was a remix of @me2space's before that), added two holes for 18mm x 5mm magnets (http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0119B3SQQ), and a 25mm hole on top which can fit ~3 medium sided pens. Finished with some oil paints (please excuse my mediocre paint job).
After spending hours in Fusion 360 trying to generate this model and hitting several roadblocks, I determined that Fusion 360 is definitely the wrong tool to use for making modifications to a high resolution mesh. The resolution of the original model had to be significantly lowered to make these edits. As a test, I decided to see how long it would take to reimplement this in OpenSCAD (which took about 10 minutes). I've attached the resulting scad source file, and a full resolution STL generated from that as well, but I have not printed the scad version. Print the scad version at your own risk.
