Fast and economic Nespresso Vertuo capsules tower (vase mode) :

5 differents versions (3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 sides)
Variable height, choose the height you want (just scale the body on Z axis, see below suggested heights)
3 bases : without labels, with a single label (name or roasting) or 3 labels (name, cup size and roasting)

A cutting jig is provided to help you to cut the nespresso boxes, to create the fancy labels. Use a sharp pencil or a lead holder pencil, and a ruler/knife to get a clean cut.

It seems different cup size boxes have some minor differences, I made templates for 40,80, 150, 230 and 355ml boxes. I had a 535ml capsules box but there is no roasting indicator.

However, you can use any template on any box, just manually center the template around the label you need to cut, it's just a little bit easier and quicker with the exact template.

The body towers are made to be printed in vase mode so it doesn't require lot of filament. Scale on Z axis the height you want, I suggested you those heights depending the number of capsules you want to stack :

1 capsule : 60 mm
2 capsules : 112 mm
3 capsules : 166 mm (max for A1 mini)
4 capsules : 220 mm (max for X1, P1, A1)
5 capsules : 274 mm
6 capsules : 328 mm
…

If you want to stack multiples towers, specially if you have a small build volume, use this coupler so you can build the tower's height you want!

The print profile for the base include a color change, if you want one color only remove the color change trigger in the preview windows, or simply select the same ams slot for both colors in print dialog

The print profile for the towers is optimized for the model, you just need to set the Z height if you want (220mm by default, for 4 capsules)

Note: This tower doesn't have a rotating feature, I used a turntable to show it at 360°, look at the carousel version.

Update 2024-01-03: Added a 40ml capsule cutting jig and rename 230ml jig to 230-355ml because it is the same jig for both sizes

great print, I printed an extra base and ripped off the bottom and shoved it in the middle for extra stability

Smart idea! btw you can easily cut the model in bambu studio, just cut 1mm to remove the part ;)

Replying to @MarcelBichon :

I'm still building my confidence, going to print a 2nd one for my work Nespresso and will give it a try!

Replying to @MarcelBichon :

also I meant to ask you, did you add a bearing system to yours for the gallery photos or is it just spinning on something.

Just finished printing the octagonal one (the most sides I can fit on my A1 Mini). Looks great, and even at only 3 capsules high, it holds more than the fancy glass drawer I have. I wished I could have the nameplates + lots of sides, so I made some plaques that can be glued on top of the 8-sided A1 Mini tower. Trying to think of a way of attaching them that will allow me to replace them later with different flavors. Thinking of adding a knob to the top.
