Toothpick Receptical (and Pill Box)

Motivation

I had broken box of toothpicks. Those things are fragile! As you can see, this was quite a mess.

So I searched for an alternative but nothing could be found. Then I designed my own. Also the first time, I designed a thread.

Printing

I used variable layer height so the tall can prints faster and also the transparent red filament looks better.

Source Files

I did it in Onshape, so no source files but a semi-public link: Toothpick Receptical

You will need an Onshape account to view this but there is a free version.

Variants

There are actually two variants of the can. A tall one for tooth picks and a small one. I used the small one to experiment with the thread because it prints much faster. I was going to throw all the prints away but it turns out having such a small box does come in handy so I kept the final version.
