Toothpick Dispenser | Pop-up Toothpick Holder

The Toothpick Dispenser offers a clean and simple way to access toothpicks. Press the button and one toothpick pops out every time—no digging, no searching, no touching multiple picks. ✨

• The dispenser has a 60 mm diameter and 83 mm height
• Designed for standard 65 mm toothpicks, ensuring universal compatibility with common household sizes.
• Requires one rubber band (1.4×28 mm); other sizes can be used as long as they provide sufficient force to return the mechanism to its original position.
• Push mechanism dispenses one toothpick per press for clean and consistent use.
• Recommended to print in PETG, but high-quality PLA will also work well.

Assembly instruction step by step👉:

• Attach the rubber band (1.4×28 mm) to the 02_Lever.
• Insert the 02_Lever into the rectangular opening in the 01_Cup.
• Snap the end of the 02_Lever onto the pin on the 01_Cup — you should feel it click into place.
• Hook the rubber band onto the tabs on the 01_Cup to create tension for the mechanism.
• Attach the 03_Rod onto the 02_Lever, then place the 04_Button onto the 03_Rod.
  • At this point, the basic mechanism is assembled.
• Insert the mechanism into the 06_Cover.
• Close the 06_Cover using the 05_Plug.
  • This requires firm pressure and slight flexing of the 06_Cover so the 05_Plug can fully snap into place.
  • Make sure the small alignment grooves are positioned correctly.
  • If any hook breaks, consider printing in a stronger material (e.g., PETG) or glue the 05_Plug to the 06_Cover.
• Place the 07_Lid on top — assembly is complete.

Possible Issues & Solutions 🔧:

1. The toothpick doesn’t extend far enough

• Check if the 04_Button has enough clearance. There should be minimal friction between 04_Button and 06_Cover.
• Ensure the rubber band provides enough force to lift the toothpick.
• If needed, twist the rubber band into two loops or use an additional band to increase tension.
• If none of the above helps, remove the lid and use the dispenser without the 06_Cover — it will still function correctly.

2. The lid holds too tightly

•  Lightly sand the protrusions on 05_Plug to reduce their size.
•  This will create more clearance and allow the lid to fit properly without excessive force.

3. 04_Button breaking 

•  If the eye on 04_Button is breaking, change the print orientation in the slicer and turn on supports.
