Abstract: Examples of a print a print particle replenishment device are described. In some examples, a print particle replenishment device includes a rotating member to rotate about a central axis of the print particle replenishment device. In some examples, the rotating member includes an opening offset from the central axis. In some examples of a print particle replenishment device, a nozzle is offset from the central axis, where the nozzle is to slide with respect to an interior plane of the rotating member to align with the opening to transfer print particles through the nozzle and opening when in an open position. In some examples, a print particle replenishment device includes an extension that protrudes with respect to the opening to engage a port cover of a host device to move the port cover to open a port for replenishment at rotation.
