nespresso vertuoline capsule holder 2 rack

thingiverse

I bought my husband a VertuoLine machine for Christmas, and I'm still searching for pod holders that fit his needs. Every one I've found is designed to hold cardboard sleeves, which look ugly and are impractical in my opinion. He likes 8 out of the 10 flavors but only drinks 1-3 cups per day, so I don't want to display dozens of pods on my counter. Update: This item has been in use for just as long as shown in the pictures, now over 2 and a half years later. I was unsure about how well the thin "shelves" would hold up, but they've lasted perfectly fine. I use one side for flavored coffees and the other for plain ones. 1/14/2019 Update: I added a top clip that's the same width as the holder and made the shelf that holds the pod just a bit thicker where it meets the back wall of the holder, as per someone's request. I also created the base as its own separate file. This item was designed using Tinkercad, and you can edit it online at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/l2xvL7GCISS. Print Settings: Printer Brand: Robo 3D Printer: R1 ABS + PLA Model Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2mm Infill: 25% Filament: Hatchbox PLA Clear Post-Printing: I designed this to be friction fit, so if one of the "shelves" breaks, you can simply print a new part and slide it in. The shelf that the pod sits on is quite thin but has held up well for several years of use so far. The shelves are angled enough to prevent pods from slipping off easily, yet not so angled that support is needed during printing. Print the base and 2 of the shelf racks. Sand lightly if necessary. Slide them into the base. Add the clip to the top if desired, but it's not required.
