Description
Update 2025.04.23 - Since I have a larger printer now, I made a taller 22cm version that easily accommodates a 100-pack in 5-blade packs.
This dispenser tower for packs of double-edge safety razor blades was built from scratch, but was inspired by the one created by Rolts. I wanted them to dispense from the narrow side, I wanted an open slot so it's easy to reach in and move the packs, and I wanted to make it as tall as my Prusa Mini could print, which is 18cm tall.
I use a red extra fine tip Sharpie marker to write the date used on each razor pack, so I added a marker holder with an 11mm diameter hole on the front. I also uploaded a version without the marker holder.
A hard plastic 5-pack of Derby blades is about 53mm x 30mm x 11mm, and this tower can hold 17 of those. If you're using cardboard packs that are less tall, this could fit a couple more.
Rafts: No

Neither the Sharpie holder now the arches at the top of the finger slots require supports.
