Pringles Dispenser Base

Create a lightweight, one-piece 3D-printable Pringles dispenser. IMPORTANT: This is NOT a sleeve around the whole Pringles tube. It is only a small base/extension that sits on a flat table. A Pringles tube is inserted upside down into the top of the base, with the open end of the tube facing downward. The Pringles should slide from the upside-down tube into a shallow dispensing chamber inside the base. The user should then be able to remove one Pringle at a time by sliding it horizontally through an opening on the side. The entire dispenser must be ONE SOLID PRINTED PIECE. Do not include drawers, doors, springs, hinges, buttons, removable parts or any other moving components. DIMENSIONS: * Outer diameter: 85 mm * Internal tube socket diameter: 79 mm * Wall thickness: approximately 3 mm * Overall height: 35 mm * Tube socket depth: 12 mm * Dispensing chamber depth: approximately 20–23 mm * Side dispensing opening: 40 mm wide × 14 mm high DESIGN: * The bottom must be flat and stable on a table. * The upside-down Pringles tube should fit securely into the circular socket. * The tube must still be removable by hand. * The dispensing chamber should be shallow so the Pringles do not fall a long distance. * The chamber floor should gently slope toward the side opening so gravity helps move the Pringles toward the opening. * The side opening should allow the user to catch the edge of a Pringle with their fingers and slide it horizontally outward. * Add a small rounded retaining lip above/inside the side opening so the stack of Pringles does not simply fall out. * The retaining lip must still allow one Pringle to be pulled out at a time. * Round and smooth the external edges where practical. * Avoid unnecessary solid material. * Keep the design lightweight and hollow where possible. * Target printed weight: less than 50 g using PLA. * The design should be suitable for normal FDM 3D printing. * Avoid internal supports where possible. The final result should be an editable parametric CAD model, not just a visual rendering.

Parameters

Every value above is a live dimension. Open a model like this in the editor and each one becomes a slider you can drag before exporting.
