Description

Here is the semi-automatic cotton swab dispenser!

 

Easy to print and use, it's just what you need to add some style to your bathroom.

 

For this, you only need :

  • cotton swabs
  • The three printing files.

Nothing simpler, and if you want, some pebbles and sand to weigh down the base with a little glue.

 

You will only need supports for the box; the rest can be done without them. As for assembly, it's quite simple. You place the mechanism inside the box with the notches; you might need to apply a bit of force. Then, you fill it with sand and close it with the lid, adding a bit of glue. Next, you place the cotton swabs on the top (make sure to place them properly for smooth operation). Finally, you close it up, and there you go!

 

Then, to retrieve them, simply lift the box and place it back, and voila, you're all set!

I have reworked the lid so that the cotton swabs fit better. Additionally, I realized that the box had not been modeled correctly, so it is now easier to put the lid on, and the mechanism is higher to retrieve the cotton swabs. Let me know if this is good now

I like the concept and the design, however it's not working for me as suspected. The swaps are falling down and locking the mechanism. I think you have to narrow down the opening for the "push" part. So that there is an opening for just only the part what is going up. I'll try to make some changes. (It will be the first time for me to adjusted a design. :-) )

Good idea, but this system doesn't always work. I was very excited for this model because it looked pretty legit, but unfortunately like other ones that are out there, the Qtips get stuck 99% of the time.

Really wanted to love this model. Its a great idea, and it prints great, but it doesnt work 90% of the time. We even tried multiple brands of cotton swabs in hopes that they wouldn't jam. Will try to print again if creator uploads a fixed model.
