Tampon Magazine

There aren't many functional prints for women on Thingiverse, so I thought making a contribution in this area would be a good idea. The only tampon holder on Thingiverse is described as a joke, which really doesn't make sense to me. I know the Maker community can be pretty conservative, but these are essential items that almost every woman uses. So it seemed like we should have at least one here. This design isn't the most space-efficient ever, but it's way better than having tampons fall out of a flimsy box and tumble around in your bag. It's also a lot of fun to load up like an action heroine when you're feeling down. You can even use it with one hand - leaving the other hand free to fight off villains! Really, really thoughtless villains with terrible timing haha... The magazine holds six OB Pro Comfort "Normal" tampons or any 13mm x 52mm tampon. It should scale cleanly to fit any tampon of the same approximate shape. The TinkerCAD model is here if you'd like to add text or decorations to it: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/gnOJgQYpBFs-tampon-magazine The spring goes into the bottom plate, which then gets inserted in the magazine and secured with a little superglue. I use superglue and PLA on almost all my prints and it works great - just make sure there's a good fit with no gaps and you only use a tiny bit. I made a short YouTube video showing my 3D printing workflow and instructions for assembling this print: https://youtu.be/ugxOl6tMnM4. It's my first build video, so I'm not really sure how useful it will be.
