This is a 12 ounce can dispenser for your refrigerator. It is designed to fit six standard US 12 ounce cans. Simply insert the cans on the top shelf, and then remove a can from the bottom. Not much to explain!
I designed this to fit standard 12 ounce US beer or pop cans. I have not been able to personally test how this works with 330ml cans found elsewhere, but I was told that it works fine.
I designed this for myself but felt that others could find it useful. The original design was two parts but I thought that it would be better to print as a single print. This made for some design challenges because I did not want to use supports. But after spending some time in Fusion 360 I finally got the design to be one part and not require supports. The holes on all the sides have been carefully designed. They help reduce the amount of material used, but placed carefully to add stability while printing while not interfering with functionality.
Additionally, the middle shelf was the most difficult area to design because one of my design goals was to avoid supports, but still allow the cans to fall properly to the lower level. The shape was very carefully designed to allow the cans to fall freely. I had to print several of these until it was perfect.
This print will take about nine hours to print on the Bambu Lab A1 and about seven and a half hours to print on the X1 Carbon. 3D printers are great, but how many superhero statues do you need? Might as well use your printer for something useful.
The first image is a render in Cinema4D with the Redshift renderer, the next two images are photos of an actual print.
The print is properly oriented for printing, DO NOT CHANGE THE ORIENTATION. No supports are needed. PLA is recommended but PETG also works well.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to improve this print. Good luck!
