Nespresso basic smooth dispenser (stackable)
thingiverse
This work is inspired by http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:601422 and numerous other outstanding designs out there. I simply wanted to create my own stackable version. For a single non-stackable dispenser, I prefer my other design here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1319671 This is another Nespresso capsule dispenser. My personal vision was for a smooth filleted dispenser that wouldn't irritate your hands with harsh edges, except for this and the FreeCAD sources it is very similar to other designs out there. Use the single version or if you want more than one use the stackable version. PLA or low warp material recommended (PET or PETG are ideal for kitchen use, as they are food safe). Don't even attempt to print this on ABS unless you have an enclosed printer, as it is tall and the temperature difference from the lower layers to the upper ones will be significant and it may break during printing. It doesn't require any support. (Update: Surprisingly it printed fine in ABS!!) As usual, FreeCAD sources are included. Enjoy. UPDATE (18-FEB-2016): As promised, I've completed the design. The socket has been downsized to increase the structural strength of the stacked parts. New stacked version is NOT compatible with previous versions from JAN-2016. All .STLs and sources have been updated, re-rendered POV image. UPDATE (08-FEB-2016): I'm updating the sources. Fixing the "Capsule fountain" effect. I'll post a new design when I find the time to finish/print/test it. UPDATE (05-FEB-2016): I discovered a bug in the dimensions of the capsule stopper. It didn't stop the capsules correctly when the capsule's box was full. Problem corrected, updated .STLs and FreeCAD sources. The stopper length has been shortened and its height increased. Now it works well. Sorry. I proved with only some capsules and didn't notice what gravity force was whispering to me... At least the problem is fixed. Restarting production just now... One last thing, POV rendered images are not exactly based on the actual design, just to give an idea. I'll upload updated rendered images when I find the time.
