Coin sorter (Russian Rubles, Euro)

thingiverse

I took the idea from the project at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2941033. This design lets you sort modern Russian and Euro coins. To do this, install the right Filter and rotate the Wheel clockwise, slowly and smoothly. The sorted coins go into a Bottle - 8 piece. The Euro and Rubles are about the same size, but US coins are much smaller than those from Russia or Europe. I couldn't add a third Filter for American coins without making this Body much bigger. So, this Sorter isn't designed for sorting American coins. If someone needs a device like this to sort American coins, please let me know. I'll try to make it work. Coins need to come in strictly horizontally. The funnel needs some improvement because sometimes coins stand on the edge and the mechanism doesn't work. This device works! I'm very happy about that! This device isn't for sorting large amounts of coins. It's more like a demonstration or toy. Check out the about_asembling.pdf file for assembly instructions. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this design and how it operates. You can see my other projects at https://www.thingiverse.com/Serg_v/about. Version 2, released on January 16th, 2019: I saw that the first version of the funnel didn't work well. Coins stood on the edge and the mechanism couldn't catch them. The new funnel is a simple cylinder to load coins strictly horizontally. The Body has holes in its side wall so you can see when the Bottles are full with coins. The diameter of the channel for coins was increased. The bottom was modified for easy assembly. I left the old files up so you can see what changed.
