SnackDispenser

Manual Snack Dispenser with Push Mechanism – 3D Printed

This compact, handy snack dispenser is ideal for nuts, candies, or other small, dry snacks. Dispensing is conveniently done by pressing a button – entirely without electronics or batteries. Perfect for home, office, or on the go.

The sturdy container has a generous filling opening and is easy to fill and clean.

Printing Instructions

All components are designed for reliable and easy 3D printing.

Material Recommendation:

• Print all components in PLA
• Print springs exclusively in PETG (higher elasticity and longer durability)

The parts are designed to be printed without issues. Good dimensional accuracy later ensures optimal function and a secure fit of the components.

Functionality

Snacks are dispensed by pressing the button.

When activated, a defined amount of snacks is released inside.
The integrated PETG springs ensure that the mechanism automatically returns to its starting position after release and is ready for the next press.

This allows for consistent and controlled portioning.

Assembly

Assembly is straightforward and requires no screws or adhesive.

Assembly Steps:

1. Insert the PETG springs into the housing and press them in completely.
2. Insert the container into the housing.
3. Place the lid on.
4. Turn the screw ring onto the housing until all parts are securely fixed.

Important Assembly Notes

• Pressing the springs in may require some force. This is intentional and ensures a secure fit.
• All parts are designed to fit together without play.
• After complete assembly, the dispenser is immediately ready for use.

Note:
Use at your own risk, as it involves food. Generally only suitable for dry snacks. Do not use for wet or sticky foods.
