Candy Dispenser

thingiverse

A sweet and delightful treat dispenser for your home, office, or anywhere else you call it your own! Simply mount it on a table's edge, and it will always be within reach, ready to satisfy your next craving for something sweet. And the best part? It comes with two barrel sizes, allowing you to customize how much candy it dispenses at a time. The treat dispenser is incredibly easy to use, and building it is just as straightforward! With only 7 parts to assemble, plus a few extra hardware pieces (screws), you'll have a working dispenser in no time. The design ensures that all the parts fit together seamlessly on a Makerbot Rep2 or similar machine. To get started, I've included the source geometry in an easily editable .stp file, just waiting for you to tinker with and make it your own. Don't forget to check out the instructions below for the finishing touches! **Instructions** You'll need: * 6 M3 Screws (20mm) * 6 M3 Nuts * 1 M8 Screw (100mm) or threaded rod * 2 M8 Nuts * Rubber or foam rubber for the clamp (optional) If you'd like to add some extra grip, cut out two pieces of rubber or foam rubber and glue them onto the clamp and stamp. **Printing** I used a Makerbot Rep2 to print my dispenser, ensuring that all the tolerances are spot on for smooth operation. As shown in the 4th image, I positioned each part carefully on the buildplate before printing. To avoid supports on unnecessary parts, I printed them individually. Just take note of the orientation for your own builds. **Assembly** Putting it together is a breeze! Simply push the nuts down into the hexagonal holes, followed by the screws into their respective round holes, and tighten them to secure everything in place. And that's it – you're done!
