I've tried to print this bird toothpick spender, the toothpecker, but came across a few issues.
TL;DR: I had come across some issues when doing this project. I made stronger 3d printeable parts to connect from bird to linkeage and linkeage to drawer that are connected by putting a bent paper clip or cable tie through the holes. They work better than using paper clips directly because they are more stable. I also improved the hinge size to fit the hole better, made a lid with the finger lip on the side and improved the drawer with a longer slope so that it works a little better for multiple toothpicks - it still gets stuck a lot though sadly.
**The measurements I have and upload here might not work for you. Before I made these parts I used fire to warm up the beak a little and carefully bent it down a little to make the previous version work, so my beak is probably formed a little differently which is why I include descriptions on how to measure your links. The first link should howev
