Description
Parametric Stackable Soda-Can Dispenser
Keep your fridge or pantry organized with this fully customizable, stackable can dispenser. Cans load from the back and roll forward on a gently tilted floor, so a fresh one is always waiting at the front lip.
Features
- 🥤 Auto-feeding tilted tray — load at the back, grab from the front
- 🧱 Stackable — build a wall of dispensers as tall as you like
- 🍯 Honeycomb side walls for a light, rigid, great-looking print
- 🔩 Snap-together assembly — no glue, no screws
- 🦵 Snap-on legs that hold the base unit at the perfect dispensing angle
- 🖨️ Auto bed-splitting — large models are tiled into printable pieces that clip back together with Multiboard-style dual-clip keys
Fully parametric — tune it to your cans and printer right in the customizer: can height & diameter, tray depth, tilt angle, wall thickness, honeycomb size, number of stacked units, legs, and more.
Assembly: Print the wall, floor, and leg parts, then join the tiles with Multiboard dual-clip bowtie keys (printed separately). Snap the legs onto the bottom unit and stack additional units on top.
The attached profile is for six EU 0.33l cans. I've printed it with PETG and its sturdy enough to handle four fully loaded levels of cans.

🛠️ How to Use
This is a fully parametric model — open it in the MakerWorld customizer (or OpenSCAD) and dial it in to your cans and printer.
⚠️ Important: The model opens in stacked mode so you can preview a full stack. Before exporting for print, set mode → print. Then use part_select to export each piece: wall, floor, and legs (or all to lay everything flat on one plate).
Quick start
- Set your can size — can_diameter and can_height.
- Set space_depth (how deep the tray is — it rounds down to a whole number of cans).
- Adjust angle if cans don't roll freely (higher = steeper).
- Switch mode to print, set part_select, and export STLs.
- Print the parts, snap them together, and lock the seams with Multiboard dual-clip keys (printed separately).
