Easter Egg Dispenser Bunny

myminifactory

The Easter Egg Dispenser Bunny is a delightful and decorative easy-to-print design perfect for celebrating the Easter season. The Bunny boasts a 'flip-top' head that allows you to load mini chocolate Easter Eggs into an internal channel running around the back and out at the front. A 'stop' is cleverly designed at the bottom to hold the Easter Eggs in place, preventing them from rolling straight through so they can be dispensed one at a time. When the presented Easter Egg is removed, the rest shuffle down the internal channel, ready for dispensing. At standard scale, the dispenser measures 150mm x 105mm x 35mm and accommodates mini chocolate Easter Eggs measuring up to 28mm x 22mm. The channel at standard size measures 30mm x 23.5mm, allowing 1.5 to 2mm rolling clearance. If you have a large enough build plate, the design can be scaled up uniformly to accept larger Easter Eggs. Important tip: Please measure the Easter Eggs to be dispensed before printing to ensure they will roll freely in the internal channel. If not, scale up to suit and calculate the increase required, including allowing for rolling clearance. To load your Easter Eggs, make sure to roll them sideways so they roll through the internal channel smoothly. You may need to hold the first egg in place during loading to prevent previously loaded eggs from being dispensed all at once. Before loading your Easter Eggs, check that the internal channel is free of print debris and as smooth as possible to minimize resistance. A well-printed dispenser should have no or very few printing imperfections affecting the channel, but if you do encounter some, simply cut them away or sand smooth. Removing and dispensing Easter Eggs is a breeze – just gently remove the available egg, and the remaining eggs inside will move down a space. To ensure the remaining eggs don't gain enough momentum to roll down and jump the retaining ridge/stop at the end of the channel, please remove eggs slowly and gently. This fun Easter thing has been designed to be an easy one-piece print with two components. The clearances applied are intentionally loose so it should print well regardless of the slicing app or machine used. The notch at the front side of the joint is purely for alignment purposes to help ensure the head sits straight in its lowered position. Great fun awaits – print your Easter Egg Dispenser Bunny in your choice of color/s and make sure you have plenty of mini Easter Eggs on hand. The hard part is keeping the Easter Egg Dispenser Bunny stocked with eggs!
