Hi !
After trying some toothpick dispensers, I didn't found one that I like.
They were either too long to print, needed too much supports or were simply not 3D printing optimized.
So I designed one with the following specs :
I used the "fuzzy skin" effect on the body to hide the printing lines, and it worked pretty well. Using it with the "spiral vase" mode may be a bit tricky depending of the slicer.
Some parts have small notches, the sides should weld together to add some strength.
Some weight has to be added at the base when assembling the dispenser (I used small pebbles).
I didn't get to mix the “vase” parts and the others in the same project, so there are two print profiles.
Part | Qty | Spiral vase | Fuzzy Skin |
---|---|---|---|
cage.stl | 1x | Yes | - |
holder.stl | 1x | Yes | - |
body.stl | 2x | Yes | Thickness 0,3 / distance 0,15 |
side[_fuzzy].stl | 2x | - | - |
