Toothpick Dispenser v2 – Push & Pick

This toothpick dispenser is a fun and practical way to elegantly offer a toothpick! Just press the button – one toothpick rolls forward and you can easily pick it up. Perfect for the kitchen, your desk, or as a surprising little gift.

Tip: Use high-quality, straight toothpicks – they roll better.

Warning: It’s oddly addictive! 😊

🛠 Assembly instructions – Push & Pick

• Connect the left side panel to the main body (black part).
• Insert the shaft with gear into the body.
• Close the assembly with the right side panel.

2 Preparing and installing the button:

• Snap together the two parts of the button.
• The gear teeth on the button must face the side with the small letter T (printed on the button).
• Insert the button into the shaft holder so that the teeth face inward toward the shaft.
• Pull the button up to its highest position.
• Mount the button onto the shaft so that:
  • the arrow on the shaft points upward
  • the gear teeth mesh correctly.
• Insert the spring under the button so it pushes the button upward.

3 Final assembly:

• Fill the dispenser with toothpicks.
• Close it with the top lid.
• Insert the front ramp all the way into the front slot.

🖨 Print information:
