FIFO Rolling Can Pantry Organizer

So, this is my biggest and most intricate design/print to date! If you're like me and have cabinets overflowing with canned goods - always be prepared for anything! - you know exactly what a pain it is to keep those rotated so that the oldest cans can be taken first. This clever solution solves that problem once and for all. Simply drop your can into the opening on top and it will roll down to the bottom. 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 for your convenience. The build plate on my Tevo Tarantula is standard 200x200, so I had to break the model into pieces to make it fit. For those with larger beds or planning to print this piece by piece, I've also included the original model with full-size panels as a ZIP file. You can disregard this if you'll be printing it all at once. A word of caution: this does take an enormous amount of filament. My print consumed 351.55 meters and 1004 grams - right at or just over a typical one-kilogram roll. Use the cheapest filament you can find. Looks don't matter here. You can always sand it down and paint it after assembly if you want to give it some flair.
