Description

PDF

In the original version of this model I was able to fit most of my tea bags, but the smaller variants would not fit as neatly as I would have wanted. This was reason enough for me to make a version of the original that would fit these bags as well as the original and in a way that would allow for both to be used alongside each other.

Contents

  • Tea Bag Dispenser Small
  • Adapter pieces that allow stacking the small version on top of the original, either left or right aligned so the side can still be used with the interlocking systems
  • Lids for the small and original versions to allow items be placed on top and prevent dust from collecting on top of the exposed tea bags
  • Blender file I used to produce these, which also contains references for the tea bag sizes for both the original and the smaller one
  • For the original, please look at the “Original model used in this remix”

Printing

I printed mine with PLA on mostly default settings. Most materials should work fine as long as there is enough flex for the interlocking mechanism to work.

Filling with bags

I recommend alternating the bags “right side up” and “upside down” when filling the dispenser to fill it as efficient as possible and to keep the stack relatively straight inside of the dispenser.
