The Jelly Bean Machine
The Jelly Bean Machine
The dispensing part with the worm gears turned out to be pretty easy to design (especially since I didn't have to design the actual gears) and the base was pretty simple I just had to match threads on the container the jelly beans came in.
The coin slide mechanism took a bit of doing to get all the inner locks working right though. I wanted it to work so you just couldn't slide the coin in and just keep turning the handle till you got all the goodies. The inner working of the coin slide can be seen here if your interested.
This is the exploded view of the entire machine. This was one of my most ambitious prints to date. The base alone took 16+ hours to print. It works pretty well for being 99% plastic. It can jam up with a odd shaped jelly bean though but overall I'm happy with how it came out it was fun project to design.
This is one of those projects that makes me realize how much 3d printing has changed my life I've always loved to make things and constantly have these crazy ideas and the M2 is allowing me to make them happen now... I olny wish this technology was around 30 years ago.

Re: The Jelly Bean Machine
Very cool steve. Love it
Re: The Jelly Bean Machine
Looks great, except it doesn't appear to deliver an adequate portion for a quarter
Re: The Jelly Bean Machine
Yeah it only gives a max of 12 jelly beans for a quarter, I probably should have used a dime.
Here's a quick video of it in action as requested. (better late than never)
