Spicegun, Revolver for spices

thingiverse

The project was temporarily halted during winter; however, an improved version is forthcoming featuring a foldable ergonomic grip. This innovative design allows users to effortlessly dispense up to six spices onto their meals. Inspired by a similar concept from an Asian designer page, I promptly created my own prototype. Despite not fitting a Tom, the design can be scaled down if necessary. External support is required for certain components, such as the handle, tube, and outlet. The print file is optimized for large-scale printers, but the scalability of smaller prints remains uncertain. A rendering video is available at http://youtu.be/RvXwZ2PwPZI. To assemble the spice dispenser, first glue the revolver drum's top onto the base. Next, prepare a wire to serve as the rotation trigger, which will be threaded through the handle's channel. Form a triangular shape on the wire to hook onto the drum's teeth for proper rotation. Fill the dispenser with spices and secure it with an 8mm rod and stopping nuts. Finally, use adhesive labels to identify each spice on the outside of the dispenser, customizing it for either left or right-handed use.
