Zettel Spender - Take One!

This functional note dispenser impresses with its clever mechanism!

The dispenser has a lid that can be opened and closed via a printed hinge. Inside, the dispensing arm is mounted, which is also flexibly supported by a filament hinge.

The secret lies at the outer end of this arm:

Here, a simple rubber band is wrapped around, which serves as a highly effective anti-slip surface (grip).

Operation is extremely simple:

When the lid is opened and closed again, the anti-slip rubber band surface of the arm grips the top note and automatically pushes it out with the movement!

The entire design works completely without screws –

both the lid and the arm are simply fixed with a piece of 3D printing filament as an axle pin.

• 100% Screwless (Completely screwless): You don't need to buy any hardware! Both the lid and the internal arm are held entirely by remnants of standard filament (1.75 mm) as axles.
• Ingenious Upcycling Mechanism: Instead of expensive springs or silicone pads, the design uses the friction of a simple, commercially available rubber band as a highly effective anti-slip mechanism.
• Moku System Compatibility: This gadget was specifically modeled for the modular Moku System! It integrates seamlessly into your existing setup and expands your desk hub with an extremely useful function.

Step 1:

Take the small lever arm and wrap a standard rubber band tightly around the T-shaped end. The rubber will later serve as a friction surface to reliably grip the paper.

Step 2:

Place the other end of the lever arm into the holder on the inside of the lid. Push a short piece of filament (1.75 mm) through the hole as an axle to allow the arm to pivot freely in the lid.

Step 3:

Place the lid on the main body of the dispenser so that the rear hinge holes align. Push a piece of filament (1.75 mm) through here as well to fix the main hinge completely screwless.

Step 4:

Glue or fix a single note flat on the inner bottom of the housing. This ensures that the notes placed on top (paper on paper) can slide forward optimally and without resistance.
