About: I am a technical artist working in the game and software industry. 3D printing is a side hobby of mine.

Intro:

A candy machine dispenser toy, give your child a cheerful experience by 3d printing one in color combinations of their choosing!

This 3d printed candy dispenser can serve small candies such as m&ms, gumballs, jelly beans or other small food items such as peanuts. As this design contains small parts it is recommended for ages 5 and older. The design itself was developed to be printable on 3d printers with build volumes as small as 100 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm. Assembled, this machine is 79.32 mm x 97.83 mm x 149.04 mm.

Requirements:

A 3d Printer with a minimum build volume of 100 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm.

* Important Notes And Safety:

If you intend for the dispenser to come in contact with food items it is highly advised to use a food safe Polylactic Acid (PLA) plastic filament when 3d Printing this project. PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic, made from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. Natural PLA (no color) is generally considered food safe but check with the manufacturer as some manufacturers will blend in other additives — for color, strength, or other features — that make the filament unsafe to come into contact with food and drink.
