FIFO Rolling Can Pantry Organizer

thingiverse

So, this is my biggest and most intricate design to date! If you're like me and have shelves stacked with canned goods - always be ready! - you know what a pain it is to keep those rotated so that the oldest cans can be removed first. This solves that problem right away. Simply drop your can into the opening on top and it will roll down to the bottom shelf. As you take a can from the bottom opening, the next can in line will roll down to take its place. By filling the rack from the top and taking from the bottom, you ensure that the oldest can is always pulled first. There are two versions included here. The build plate on my Tevo Tarantula printer has a standard 200x200 size, so I had to break up the model into pieces to make it fit. For those with larger beds or who have this printed in one piece, I've also included the original model with full-size panels as a ZIP file. You can ignore this if you're printing this piece by piece. A word of caution: this does take a lot of filament. My print used 351.55 meters and 1004 grams - right at or just over a typical one-kilogram roll. Use the cheapest filament you can find. Looks aren't important here. You can always sand it down and paint it after assembly if you want.
