Description

Dustproof Q-Tip holder. 
Pull up on the ears to access Q-Tips. The insert pulls out completely for easy refill.
Prints without supports.
 

New design:

  • Storage area is taller and the container is sectioned into four to keep the cotton swabs in order and to help with refills.
  • Lid prints separately and without supports. Just press it onto the stick to assemble permanently. No glue required.


    General 3d Printing Tips
  • Make sure your printing plate is clean! Oils from your skin will cause adhesion issues for your prints. Regularly wash your print plate with a detergent like Dawn and avoid touching the surface when removing prints from the bed.
  • If it's an option on your printer, always opt to level the bed before each print. If you have to perform this manually, make sure you do this after every few prints. It takes a bit of time and patience, but it's a fair trade for reliable prints.
  • Ensure bed and nozzle temperatures are within the expected range for the material you are printing. Temperatures that are too high or too low will affect the print negatively by causing warping, malformed layers or adhesion issues.
  • Reduce your printing speed. Slower print speed is especially important for overhangs because it gives the material more time to cool as it's deposited.

Nice idea, however the stem broke during assembly, because the tolerqnce between the hole and stem is too tight

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. I did not run into this issue with the default profile on my printer. I can make a version with wider tolerance that requires glue, instead of relying on a pressure fit.

I added v2_qtip_cat_head_wider.stl to the files listed with this model. It has a slightly wider hole that should fit around the post without issues, and as I mentioned, might require glue depending on your filament and printer settings.
