Tea bag dispenser

Model Overview & Print Notes

**A modular tea bag dispenser for an organized kitchen.** By having the outlet slanted at a 45-degree angle you can always see which tea is inside and can remove them one by one ergonomically with one hand. The slit in the center of the lid allows for easy monitoring of how many remain. You can quickly and easily remove the design from the rail to fil up on your table. The removable cover also serves for quick untangling if the bags happen to get stuck. The extra weight makes sure that the ergonomic removal also works when there are few bags remaining. The maximum tea bag size is 66x76 mm and it fits up to 25 bags. This design is part of my “Raily” wall organization system. The rails are included but I recommend checking out the base set for more parts. **Parts** - Tea bag dispenser: Body, lid and weight - Rails: 3 sizes from 100 to 300 mm. 100 mm long end pieces are also included for a cleaner look. **Instructions** - Print your parts - Place your rails. You can either screw or glue them onto your wall. I like to use 3M tape. The screw holes have a diameter of 5.5 mm, and they are always 100 mm apart. Insert the weight into the pocket. - Place the body horizontally on your table and fill it up with tea bags - Slide on the lid (if you stuffed a few too many inside which is definitely doable – you have to press them down slightly while closing the lid) - Place the dispenser onto the rail - Take out the bags one by one with your thumb as seen in the images. - To fix a tangle – you can slide the lid up slightly with your middle finger. - To refill the design, remove it from the rail **Print settings** Required build volume: 190 x 190 x 250 mm Material usage: 160 g per dispenser - Material: PLA - Print direction: files are rotated correctly - Support: none - Nozzle size: 0,4 mm - Line width: 0,4 mm - Layer height 0,2 mm - Build plate adhesion type: none Body, Lid and Rails print in default settings. Only the Weight needs more weight, so increased infill and shell thickness makes sense. Below is a suggestion. Body, Lid and Rails - Outer walls: default - Top/Bottom Layers: default - Infill: 15% Weight - Outer walls: 5 - Top/Bottom Layers: 6 - Infill: 15%
