Can Coin Dispenser

prusaprinters

I have always kept change in my cars, usually in jams up the phone tray or old ash trays until it runs all over the floor.  When trying to quickly search for change needed, you have to filter thru a lot of junk.  I have seen these spring loaded change dispensers for many years, but three problems usually.  1) They are usually foreign change, 2) Never a spot for pennys, 3) They stand out or are required to be hidden to prevent possible break in and theft.  I have fixed all three of those issues for us in the states. I must first give credit to https://grabcad.com/library/pepsi-bottle-10 for the can model.  Rest of model is of my own design and creation.  Before you start you will need; (2)- Compression springs of 5/8" x 2-¾", wire size of .041" (example)https://www.menards.com/main/hardware/fasteners-connectors/specialty-fasteners/springs/midwest-fastener-reg-5-8-x-2-3-4-zinc-compression-spring-1-count/88026/p-1444440203638-c-9553.htm?searchTermToProduct=88026(2)- Compression springs of ¾" x 3-3/8", wire size of .047" (example)https://www.menards.com/main/hardware/fasteners-connectors/specialty-fasteners/springs/midwest-fastener-reg-3-4-x-3-3-8-zinc-compression-spring-1-count/88035/p-1444440194335-c-9553.htm?searchTermToProduct=88035Next, print 1 time CantopSlide.stl, and Plungers.stl.  You can now decide if you want the can to be embossed with logo or without.  Print a top and bottom of whichever you choose.  Use filament change at select layers if you wish to alternate colors.When everything is printed, assembly is pretty straight forward.  I would recommend assembling everything without glue first as you will have to line up the bottom of the can with the top slide piece to allow free movement of coin plungers, make sure you have installed springs and plungers before gluing.  Secure with clamp and let fully cure.  Paint or decorate as desired.Now if you have a cup holder in your car, you can store multiple dollars worth of change hidden in open sight and still be able to easily pull change at the drive thru widow! ;)  Unsuspecting thieves or strangers at a glance will think it is just an unopened can of warm soda.
