Smallworld Race Chip Holder/Dispenser

thingiverse

If you've played Smallworld, you know the pain of retrieving race chips from the bottom of the stack. Inspired by this, I designed a pez-style dispenser for Race and Money Chips; however, I couldn't decide on an ejection mechanism. So, I created a simple holder resembling a dealing shoe: drop chips in the top, and gravity pushes them to the bottom, where a wedge exposes the bottom chip through a cutout for easy access. It can hold all skeleton chips, so it should be sufficient for other races as well. A 3D printer-less design, this is a work in progress with plans for a dispensing mechanism and stackable versions later on.
