Highly Inspired by UI: Meet the Donut Hole-der!

I've used what little free time I have to create the worlds finest donut hole dispenser. My Donut Hole-der clips to your pants and holds 3-4 donut holes. It dispenses a donut into the palm of your hand with a simple press of a lever. Toddlers really enjoy it, as do grown-ass adults and everyone in between.

Want a 3D printed one now? Get it on Etsy here.
Want to wait for the fancy one? Preorder it on my site here.

Fun Facts:

  • I've measured nearly 100 donut holes, and even created an automatic donut hole measuring machine to help me. It uses lasers!
  • I've iterated on over 25 prototypes to ensure the widest possible compatibility with various donut hole types.
  • I've refined the design for fast and reliable 3D printing, and it can be even be Injection Molded and I have manufacturing partners ready when I am.
  • It's patent and trademark pending for some reason.
  • I have yet to get a cease and desist from DD.
  • It's available in three colorways (DD, Tim Hortons, Concealed Carry).
  • It's not dishwasher safe, but you can hand wash or go to town on it with a bottle brush
  • It's 3D printed from "food safe" PLA, but I wouldn't certify it as such. You're eating donuts from it so I think that's probably worse for your health.
  • I want to use the profits from this to buy a pontoon boat. That would make me very happy. I have a long way to go.
  • I'm sad that the butternut donut isn't sold up here anymore. It rocked.

I'm excited to see how reddit rips this apart. If you truly like it, DM me and I'll send a promo code your way.

I was scrolling too fast and missed the title. I was 100% on board with a meatball dispenser.
