FIFO Rolling Can Pantry Organizer

myminifactory

So, here is the largest and most intricate design/print I've ever undertaken! If you're like me and have cupboards overflowing with canned goods - always be ready for anything! - you know exactly how frustrating it can be to keep those rotated so that the oldest cans come out first. This clever solution puts an end to all that hassle. Simply drop your can into the opening at the 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 up 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 out first. There are two versions included here. The build plate on my Tevo Tarantula is standard 200x200 so I had to break the model down into pieces to make it fit. For those with larger beds, or for anyone having this printed, I've also included the original model with full-size panels as a ZIP file. You can ignore this if you're printing piece by piece. A word of caution: this design uses a LOT of filament. My print used 351.55m and 1004g - right at, or just over, a typical 1kg roll. Use the cheapest filament you can find. Looks aren't important here. You can always sand it and paint it after assembly if you like. There are a lot of pieces to this design. It's been pointed out over on Thingiverse that I missed three files when uploading this. If you notice any missing files, just let me know and I'll upload those right away.
