Pisa Tower-shaped Nespresso Capsule Container
Print Profile(1)
Description
Inspired by the Leaning Tower of Pisa, I have designed a receptacle for espresso capsules.
Three distinct channels accommodate different coffee varieties, allowing for effortless selection via rotation of the central structure prior to brewing.
Referring to the model of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, I designed a container that can store coffee capsules.
There are three channels for holding different flavors of coffee. Before enjoying coffee each time, you can rotate the model body to choose the flavor you want to drink.
Model dimensions: total height 364mm, tower body diameter approximately 98mm, turntable diameter approximately 120mm.
The interior features three channels designed for capsule storage.
Model size: total height is 364mm, tower body diameter is about 98mm, turntable body diameter is about 120 mm.
There are three channels inside for holding capsules.
The following components are required for assembly:
The following accessories are needed for model making:
- Eight 8mm ball bearings for the rotating mechanism, 8 mm ball balls, 8 balls, are used to rotate part of the mechanism.
- Six 8mm diameter, 1mm thick magnets for the capsule container lids. Magnet with a diameter of 8mm and a thickness of 1mm, 6 pieces, used for the lid part of the capsule container.
- Three M2 screws, 15mm-25mm in length, to secure the tower body to the turntable. 3pcs M2 screws with a length of 15mm to 25mm are used to tighten the fit between the tower body and the turntable.
The base foot pads are 3D printed using TPU, though alternative materials or omission thereof will not impede rotational functionality.
The base foot pad is printed with TPU, or can be printed without printing or with other materials. This does not hinder the use of rotation.
I have uploaded assembly instructions for your convenience.
I uploaded the assembly guide for reference.
