Don't have a 3D Printer? My models print great with These Printers (affiliate)

The Cactus Toothpick Holder This 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! (If needed, use the Brim print setting to secure the spring if it isn't sticking to the build plate)

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.

Filament I used: Eryone Olive Green Matte PLA (Amazon)

Components: Optional Metal Spring. The metal spring is more reliable and lasts longer than the printed spring.

Assembly

1. Insert spring into the cactus

2. Insert Cactus over the 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!
