Cactus Toothpick holder
Added 2024-03-13 21:39:22 +0000 UTCThis one took me soo many attempts to get working right, but its finally done!
Everyone loves cactuses. Cacti? So i made one into a toothpick holder. It has a built in spring so the spines stick out when you push it down!
These are excellent for storing your toothpicks. They're great for when you host parties and have fruit or meat and cheese boards too!
These work with standard round toothpicks. I just picked up a pack of 500 of them for super cheap from walmart. This cactus takes 117 toothpicks total.
I used a standard 4 inch Terracotta nursery pot for mine. But I included a file to print the pot if you'd like.
*** Updated the spring a third time to require less force! You might need to use the brim setting if the spring isn't sticking to the build plate!
The cactus filament is Eryone Olive Green Matte PLA, for anyone who is curious
Assembly
1. Insert spring into hold in cactus
2. Insert Cactus onto Inner Pole
3. Place everything into pot holder
4. Place inside pot, or 3d printed pot.
5. push down cactus, insert 1 toothpick, release, then insert the rest!
Everything Else can just be printed with whatever standard settings you like to use.
Comments
Printed everything in the size it was scaled to be, the pot holder is too small for the base of the catcus "inner pole"
