A coin sorting device for euro coins designed by my 12-year-old godchild with some support is doing quite well, as long as you don't overdo it with the amount of coins. 5-cent and 50-cent coins have a larger diameter than 10-cent and 1-euro coins accordingly. Therefore, the order is reversed for these coins. Demonstration Video: https://youtu.be/WeCBFLK4XXI Remixes: Developing this gadget was a lot of fun, and we used "US Coin Sorter V3.0 by Pentland_Designs" as an inspiration. His experience and his videos were very useful. I had already optimized the design for snap-in connections, which fit perfectly. Development Notes: One picture shows the development of the disk and funnel. (The old versions are in the back) The first disk design didn't work because the coins weren't sliding up the chamfer. So we reduced the thickness to the thickness of a 1-cent coin. The funnel was the most tricky part. The first design often clogged, so we added an area where the coins could slide up instead of blocking. Unfortunately, this made the coins sometimes "glide" over the disk without falling down. This problem was mainly solved by adding an oval hole and a steep angle at the front. It works well as long as there aren't too many coins in the funnel. Maybe someone will design an even better version, so we've included the Fusion 360 file.
