NutRotor - Nuts Candy Cereals Rotary Dispenser

NutRotor – Twist-to-Dispense Nut Feeder is a compact, 3D-printable dispenser designed for clean, controlled serving. Fill the cylindrical container with walnuts (or similar nuts), then simply twist the knob to release a portion through the bottom outlet.

Inside the body, a smooth rotating 8-wing rotor flap meters the contents and prevents uncontrolled spilling. Each twist drops a small batch, making it perfect for snacks, baking prep, or keeping nuts fresh and accessible on your desk or kitchen counter.

✅ Tested with walnuts for reliable dispensing and smooth rotation. Walnut size note: If you use very large walnut halves, break them into smaller pieces first to avoid jams.

⚠️Cornflakes / cereal note:
If you use cornflakes or other large cereal pieces, do not use the inner insert, as it can reduce the opening too much and cause bridging or jams.

⚠️ Important print note:
The rotor should be printed in PETG, because it is more flexible than PLA. The wings need a bit of flex to work properly without jamming.
Even better would be food-safe TPU, which gives the best bending behavior for the rotor.
