Dolce gusto capsule wall dispenser

thingiverse

Hi,\nThis is a Dolce Gusto capsule dispenser inspired by stigrune's design, based on F360 files. I've created it specifically for hanging on walls or cabinets and have optimized its space usage (you can hang one beside another - see pictures).\nThe design is not perfect, but it gets the job done. Remember to follow these two rules:\nevery "over/top" capsule must be in front of the one below, which usually happens naturally. Otherwise, you won't be able to take off the lowest pod easily\nwhen removing a pod, push the previous one up slightly and assist its falling with your finger or by taking out the capsule itself. This can be done with one hand, but it requires some attention - just like commercially available containers.\nThis dispenser consists of three components:\nthe base is the bottom part where you take capsules out (push others up slightly and tilt)\nmiddle parts can be printed as needed and stacked together\ntop elements have a small modification to make capsule dropping easier, prevent falling off, and do not require top mounting bolts\nI attempted to modify stigrune's version so that capsules wouldn't fall off all at once when removing a single one. Unfortunately, I failed - partly due to lack of required skills in F360, partly because I didn't know how to properly modify it. After a few tries and prints, I gave up and redesigned it in a simpler way.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: Prusa\nPrinter: Prusa Clone\nRafts: No\nSupports: No\nInfill: 20%\nNotes:\nAll components can be printed without supports. Middle and top elements may need some adhesion to the print bed, so consider using a raft if you have poor adhesion - I've printed all parts without one.\nThe bottom part's side arch might be challenging for some printers, but it's designed to be printed without support.\nAlso, make sure to print the top element "upside down" - the STL file is already positioned correctly. The top surface should be the first one to print.\nPost-Printing\nAfter printing, glue all parts together using a strong adhesive like cyanoacrylate glue or another suitable option. Then attach it to your cabinet or wall using double-sided tape that's not too weak (like carpet tape).
