Update 3/5/2023: I liked the bottom on another similar design so much that I came up with an alt-bottom edition to offer that as well (see STEP and STL files for the 10x2 mm magnet version).

I wanted a neat way to store tea on a fridge or mini-fridge for easy access and visual identification, as these are common fixtures in offices.  Should work on anything magnetic and flat-ish.

Includes a slot to put one empty (or full) teabag to indicate what is stored inside.

 

Printing notes:

Printed in cloudy white PETG from California filaments using 2 walls, 10% gyroid infill, and tree support only on the dispenser hole overhang steep area (see pic for suggested paint-on support area).  Cleanup should be minor, if any.

Magnet notes:

Included versions for 10x2 mm disc magnets, as well as 12x2 magnets.  Use a drop of super glue to keep them in their little holes.  Also included a STEP file for people to make different magnet variations if they wish.

If you want other mounting options , see remixes.

 

Author/license notes:

It turns out someone else and I thought of very similar ideas at the same time independently, but the other post happened to come first. Therefore, to be safe, I listed this as a remix of https://www.printables.com/model/413856-tea-bag-dispenser/ to avoid violating any contest rules.  If anyone happens to care for licensing reasons, I list this under my own license as I created this from scratch totally separately.
