Wood Cigarette Box - Surprise & Delight Magic Wooden Dispenser

Product Information

So if you want two colors (if you have a one extruder printer like mine) as seen in the pictures, you should "pause at height" at layers 2 and 15 to change the filaments. In other words: 0.4mm box color+2.6mm label color (layer 15) and then the rest is box color again. FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the cigarette dispenser with portions broken away to reveal details thereof. Based on the wooden version I saw at Youtube, I designed a 3d print model myself using Tinkercad. Main parts are composed of two: The base does not require any support. I printed with 10% infill and 0.28 layer height. However printing with lower layer heights (ie 0.2 or lower) may result in better accuracy for the moving parts. Front wall 32 is provided with a rectrangular, observation opening 34. Opening 34 extends substantially from the top of front wall 32 to the bottom of front wall 32 as well as from one side of front wall 32 to the other. A transparent window 36 is affixed to front wall 32 so as to close opening 34, keep cigarettes 18 clean, and retain cigarettes 18 within box 12. Most of the cigarettes 18 held within box 12 at any given point in time can be viewed through window 36.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cigarette dispenser in accordance with the present invention shown mounted upon the sun visor of a land vehicle. Finally, I printed the "handler with "cigarettes" label" again with same infill (10%) but with 0.2mm layer height to easily print in two colors. Cigarettes 18 are pulled downwardly by gravity into cradle 22. A user need only pull a cigarette 18 from opening 20 with his fingers to gain control over the cigarette 18. By similarly pulling lighter 70 from clasps 56, the user can easily light the cigarette 18 after lighter 70 is fired. There is never any need for the user to take his eyes from the road to access a cigarette 18 or lighter 70. Thus, dispenser 10 can be safely used while the vehicle carrying visor 38 is in motion.I printed the lid of the box again with 10% infill and 0.28 layer height. However, same for the other parts, it is also advised to be printed heavier, ie by using 50% or more infill for more effective automation. With the exception of window 36, dispenser 10 is molded as a unitary whole from a suitable thermoplastic material. The material is resilient to the extent necessary to permit clip 48 and clasps 56 to flex to gain a grip upon visor 38 and lighter 70. Window 36, however, can be made from a transparent plastic material that need not possess the ability to flex. After window 36 is independently formed, is can be affixed within opening 34 by adhesive cement or other suitable means.

Cradle 22 includes a rectangular, bottom wall 44 that connects together the bottoms of tabs 40 and 42. Bottom wall 44 extends the full length of tabs 40 and 42 and has the same height as walls 26, 28, and 30. By partially closing opening 20 at the bottom of box 12, bottom wall 44 serves to retain cigarettes 18 within box 12 until such time as a user chooses to smoke one of them. It is a further object of the invention to provide a cigarette dispenser that is easy to use while driving and, prior to taking a road trip, can be loaded and installed in a land vehicle by one person with minimal instruction and without resort to any additional tools. The cigarette dispenser is intuitive to use. It is another object of the invention to provide a cigarette dispenser of the type described that is easy to fill with cigarettes and that employs gravity to move these cigarettes to an easily accessed, retrieval position in the dispenser. The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the cigarette dispenser will become readily apparent upon further review of the following detailed description as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The cigarette dispenser can be more readily understood with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT If you are not going to make any color change you can print all (4) parts at once, with the same settings you want. They fit into 200X200mm bed size. Three, refill ports 14 are provided in side wall 28 for inserting cigarettes 18 into box 12. Ports 14 are provided at spaced apart locations, one being located proximate the top of side wall 28, another being located adjacent the bottom of side wall 28, and the remaining port 14 being located at the middle of side wall 28. Each of ports 14 has a diameter that is slightly greater than that of a cigarette 18 so that, once cigarettes 18 are inserted into box 12, cigarettes 18 cannot easily be shaken out of box 12 by the typical vibrations and motions of visor 38 as its associated land vehicle is driven around. It is an object of the invention to provide improved features and arrangements thereof in a cigarette dispenser for the purposes described which is lightweight in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and dependable in use.
