Please share your make and let me know your opinion about this model. Thank you and have a great week !&nbsp;Update 11.03.2024: Added “Skull" lid. There is an optional profile for printing this lid. <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/@timon1201" rel="nofollow noopener">@timon1201</a> did a similar lid and gave me this idea. thanks !&nbsp;Update 29.12.2023: Added “Pine cone” lid. You can find it in the Optional Lids profile. The lid has fine details, please be sure your printing plate is clean (no finger grease etc.).&nbsp;The Automatic Toothpick dispenser:<ul><li>All parts are 3d printed, all in one plate. No AMS needed.</li><li>Several Lids to choose from and a clean lid to customize it as you wish. “Voronoi” and “Yoda” lid are found in the model profile. Other optional lids will be added to the “Optional Lids” profile.</li><li>Each part easily fit together. Please check the short building video bellow. ( 1min 30sec minutes to build )</li><li>works with toothpicks of max 66mm and approx. 2mm diameter (normal toothpicks I've found ). Please shake the dispenser to arrange the toothpicks correctly and parallel. Throw away toothpicks that look too different than normal ones: damaged, askew.</li><li>The two arms that hold the big parts together have printed on them L and R, to be sure you set them correctly (left and right).</li><li>The 3d printed spring should be inserted like in the video, first on the back with the other end up, then the front.</li></ul><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:30.4%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/682841/2023-12-14_9977d673e0c9a.png"></figure><ul><li>Second spring is optional (the left one). After some use, it will work smoother, as the parts needs some time to slide easier one on each other. From my experience, the right spring is enough, but feel free to play around.</li><li>If some of the toothpicks are thrown, it means some of them are a bit too thin. You can dispense them better by releasing the push pad slower. :)</li><li>If at some moment it stops from giving toothpicks, it can happen that the feeding zone is blocked by two toothpicks (usually because some toothpicks are smaller/bigger, damaged, askew etc). It's easily fixed by shaking a bit the whole model and/or press harder on the push part.</li><li>The parts are finely designed to work together, so I suppose it's important to have a good filament and calibrated. Please use my tested profile.</li><li>You can choose from two different lids (in the main profile, more lids in a separate profile - Optional Lids). The “Yoda” lid is a separate plate as it's using AMS and 2 colors.  You can print it without AMS and leave empty space in the lid where letters and Yoda is (don't print the letters and Yoda).</li><li>I've added another profile (For Thinner Toothpick - only base part) containing only the base part for cases where your toothpicks are often flying out of the dispenser. This is usually a problem related too thin toothpicks. This part is only the base part which should handle such toothpicks.</li><li>Based on the review of eric.joschko (thank you!!), he scaled everything to 108% and everything works perfect for he's toothpicks which i understood they are 68mm length.</li><li>Based on review of Sven_fretz (thank you!!): “scaled everything up to 125% and it works fine with my 80mm toothpicks.”</li><li>For better spring action and to be sure they keep their power better in time, you can print only the springs with PETG.</li></ul>This is the building video (1min 30sec minutes ): <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/BJucPYljE2o" rel="nofollow noopener">https://youtu.be/BJucPYljE2o</a><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJucPYljE2o"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BJucPYljE2o" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>&nbsp;If you like this model, please check out my new Salt & Pepper dispensers: <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/228050#profileId-245632" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/228050#profileId-245632</a><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:56.68%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/682841/2024-03-06_0e2805d6f36fc.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;Or, my fun and easy to print, easy to use filament cutter: <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/137257#profileId-149353" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/137257#profileId-149353</a><figure class="image"><a href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/137257#profileId-149353" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/682841/2024-01-15_0a30aa152023c.png"></a></figure>&nbsp;Disclaimer: YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, BY YOUR USE OF MY MODELS, THAT YOUR USE OF THE MODELS IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.<h2>LIMITATION OF LIABILITY</h2>UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, SHALL THE DESIGNER OF THE MODELS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE MODELS OR 3D PRINTED MODELS.

3D printed AMS stacking stand. Fits the Bambu Lab AMS (for P1P and X1 series 3D printers)<a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/__9SEiFJhKI" rel="nofollow">Quick presentation video</a><h3>Compatibility</h3>Fits the 3 different versions of the AMS units. However, the fit for the older version (3 large gaps on the sides instead of 4) is slightly offset and the bottom box will protrude out a bit.<h3>Materials</h3><ul><li>about 500g of filament</li><li>optional 10x404mm metal rod/pipe (such as an aluminum pipe) cost me about $2 at the hardware store</li><li>optional two M3 grub screws 6-12mm long and compatible Allen (hex) key (you can find them in sets on Amazon for $10-20), OR use long normal M3 screws, like M3x30 or M3x40 and only screw in a quarter of the length</li><li>optional felt pads for the bottom AMS unit for easier sliding</li></ul><h3>Printing</h3>There's an optional small test-fit part (plate 3) that can be printed first for checking potential fitting issues.Pick either the decorated version (plate 1) or the plain version (plate 2). Takes close to 15 hours to print with the Generic PETG profile. <h3>Assembly</h3>Cut the metal rod to 404mm long, then insert it in both printed parts. Fit the AMS unit at the top. Screw in the two grub screws at the back alongside the rod to lock it in place. If you like CAD modeling, I posted a<a href="https://youtu.be/lQgtJk67J3Q" rel="nofollow"> 90-minute video with the entire workflow for creating this model</a>.

I have made tens of models for them.&nbsp;Since the blades are easy to drop and relatively weak, and in addition, the original model is a glued up model, It is easily got broken and each time I have make a whole new one for them, much of waste.&nbsp;So I decided to make my own one to address the issues, by introducing a rubber ring tensioned blade lock and disassemble structure for exchanging the blades.&nbsp;Also, considering the rubber ring might break in the future, I added an anchor structure that make the rubber ring could be exchanged from outside.&nbsp;To drag the rubber ring easily, a puller tool is also included into the 3mf file.&nbsp;The assembly guide is listed in the thumbnails and not very hard to assemble.&nbsp;Have fun!------------------Updated on 2023/11/03&nbsp;The folding diameter of the rubber ring is 60mm, please check out the thumbnail for reference.&nbsp;As the holes in Handle and connector are built w/o support, the diameter of the hole is not as perfect as other surfaces. This could cause the filament being hard to insert. I recommend to use a Hex Key T1.5 to clean the hole, then it will be much easier.
