The orcuDispenser (short for "Orcular Dispenser") is an open-source dispenser made from recycled plastics. The main features are:

• For soap or other liquids like dishwashing liquid, shampoo or body wash
• Made from recycled plastics (Precious Plastic sheets)
• Laser-cut parts
• 3D printed parts
• Circular design
  • Easy to repair & upgrade
  • Designed for disassembly
  • All parts recyclebale (except for the pump, depends on the product)
• Open-source hardware
• Designed in FreeCAD (open-source software)
  • CAD file accessible in this repository
  • Parametric design (other sizes are easy to generate)

• Please be patient and wait about a minute to load the online 3D view

Controls:

• On computer: Use the left mouse button to rotate, the right mouse button to pan and the mouse wheel to zoom

• On smartphones: Swipe to rotate, use two fingers to zoom and pan

• Alternative 3D view with more tools here

  • Click "Set Z axis as up vector" for better display
  • You can hide/show parts and groups on the left-hand side
  • For a complete view of the 3D file, download the CAD file and open it in FreeCAD

The orcuDispenser is part of the Orcular project - https://www.orcular.org

"Orcular" stands for Open Source + Circular Economy

The project is about design concepts for locally recyclable products - for a constantly growing open source product library and the development of inner-city production.

Most components can be recycled into new parts - all within one city. Recyclable plastic parts from the laser cutter, 3D printer and CNC mill, supplemented by standard parts.
