# Tea-Bag Dispenser
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Status:** Digitally validated; packet feeding and mounting require physical tests.
|
||
|
||
The editable generator is [tea-bag-dispenser.scad](tea-bag-dispenser.scad). FDM printing in PLA or PETG; use at least three perimeters for a durable kitchen part.
|
||
|
||
## Defaults and important controls
|
||
|
||
Front-pull magazine for 60 × 70 × 1.6 mm packets with capacity 24.
|
||
|
||
**Fit and tolerance:** Measure a real packet stack because seams and wrapper thickness vary by brand.
|
||
|
||
Open the SCAD file in OpenSCAD and use **Window → Customizer** to change the documented parameters. Dimensions are millimetres.
|
||
|
||
## OpenSCAD and export
|
||
|
||
This generator is maintained and validated with a recent OpenSCAD Nightly build.
|
||
|
||
1. Open the SCAD file and select parameters in Customizer.
|
||
2. Press **F6** for a full render.
|
||
3. Use **File → Export → Export as STL** for printable 3D output.
|
||
4. Slice with the actual printer, nozzle, material, and layer profile.
|
||
|
||

||
## Printing and fabrication
|
||
|
||
Print the front-pull magazine with its back flat on the bed.
|
||
|
||
The included STL files passed digital mesh and slicer checks. Digital validation does not establish physical fit, strength, fatigue life, or material suitability.
|
||
|
||
## Known limitations
|
||
|
||
- Packet feeding, jamming, and cleanability require physical testing.
|
||
- Wall fasteners and magnets must be selected for the installation.
