Nutcracker Candy Dispenser

This is a simple candy dispenser designed to look like a nutcracker soldier. It's a fun talking piece to add as a decoration near holiday gatherings.
Uses a Wide Mouth mason jar (easy to find on amazon, in stores, etc). I can design a Regular Mouth lid and upload that if there's demand for it.

How to assemble (I recommend hot glue instead of super glue so you can disassemble it again if needed):

• Glue the large Outer Face to the Base
• Place the Cylinder into the Inner Face
• Glue the Knob onto the end of the Cylinder
• Drop the Inner Face into the Outer Face
• Slide the Hair pieces into the notches on the Outer Face (these should rest a little low to make room for the lid)
• Glue the Lid onto the top of the Outer Face
• you're done!

A few notes: Candy will sometimes get stuck in the cylinder and turning harder doesn't really help. Turning too hard will make the knob strip. Try jiggling the knob a bit. Regular M&Ms and skittles work for me, but Peanut M&Ms are too big and irregular. Try not to screw the jar too tight, or it will cause the lid to pop off of the face. For the same reason, avoid carrying it by the lid or jar.

Is it food safe? The short answer is no. Most 3d printing plastics and dyes are not intended to be in contact with food, and bacteria can hide in the 3d printed gaps. I added a tiny amount of tolerance if you want to try sealing some of the parts with a urethane or something. This is really meant as a novelty display piece.
