Desktop Candy Machine

PLEASE NOTICE: this is a very old design that I uploaded on Thingiverse around the year 2011-12, when this was the very first candy machine and Thingiverse had just a bunch of 3D designs. Now there are much better models, but I keep this design together with others from the same period as a sort of digital memory.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simple candy dispenser that works better with M&Ms or Smarties.

It's divided in three parts and it doesn't need material support.

It recycles glass containers.

Added Vase.stl to print and use on the machine.

Instructions

Print all the parts, detach the 0.5 mm borders of the Middle and Top parts.

Connect the Knob and the Gear together with the Middle part.

Put together the Bottom, Middle and Top parts.

Use a 5cm diameter glass vase as candy container.

Wrap some Teflon tape on the border of the vase if you want a snug fit.

Slowly turn the Knob clockwise or counterclockwise to get your candy.
