Tired of the look of plastic? 
 

Create a container using toothpicks. It looks fun, uses little filament and imports the look of wood with a very cheap material.

Given that the main component here are toothpicks, if you use something a bit higher quality, the final look is going to be better. I created the black double floor using cheap material, and it does look good, but it was very inconsistent in height and rough on the surface.

Print the “Ring” first to check if it fits your toothpick - it should slide through the hole entirely with no issue. If yours is on the thicker side, customize on the customizer and increase toothpick radius a bit.

Regular 8cm size uses 64 toothpicks per layer. 

Customize your own toothpick size and spacing using the .scad file in the customizer.

Assembly instructions, for a single layer container: 

• Print Base, Ring and Finishing
• Add glue to the base. I used silicon glue, which has some viscosity but is slow to dry, so you can put a lot of sticks. 
  • Put the toothpicks through the ring, just like the video. The reason for this is that it's almost impossible to line everything up to put the top if they are only anchored on the bottom. That ring helps line up all toothpicks to put on the top. 
• To close it off, put some glue on the top finishing. Line up the toothpicks, put it in and hide the ring inside the top finish. 

• If you want more layers, just repeat the process - instead of closing it off with the finishing part, use the connector and put the finishing on the last layer.
