Spinning Tassimo Holder

thingiverse

Having recently purchased a Tassimo machine, I wanted a variety of drinks but couldn't be doing with having all those boxes on my worktop, so I decided to create this design. Keeping it simple was key, and I've designed it to be hung inside my cupboard above the mugs or free standing by making some modifications to the base unless you want to screw the base down to the worktop. You can check out a video of it in action here: https://youtu.be/n--zKZR-UBI Print Settings: Printer: Hephestos (heavily modified) Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 300 microns for holders, 200 microns everything else Infill: 50% for everything Notes: I've included supports in the STL files, which enables the pod holders to print perfectly with ease. You can simply snap out the supports once printed. Post-Printing: Supports are included in the STL files for the following parts: Small pod holder Large pod holder Spin holder Ceiling slot These just snap off easily once printed. How I Designed This: I kept it really simple, designing a bracket that fixes onto the underside of the shelf with a V slot that slots into the bracket. A hex nut and M8 threaded rod form the main shaft of the unit for strength. Two 'spinning' discs rest on M8 nuts (further down the threaded rod) for the pod holders to be screwed to (10-12mm M3 Hex Screw/Bolt). I designed spinning discs for a 4-6 and 8 pod holder system but couldn't find the files when I uploaded the previous ones. I've included 2 different pod holder designs, one for standard 'small' pods and another for bigger pods (Milka/Cadbury - powder only pods). I was a little lazy with my dimensions, as most of them were guesstimated since it was meant to be a first draft. However, it works really well, so I figured I'd publish it as it is. Simply print the quantity of pod holders you require, two of the corresponding spinning discs, get some M8 threaded rod, a few nuts, and 2 M3 screws for each pod holder, and you're done in just a few minutes. If I get the chance, I'll take some pictures and videos and upload them soon.
