Coin operated Candy machine

Intro:

          Inspired by the good old gumball machine, i wanted to make a compact candy dispenser that had all of the same functionality but with a modern design. My design features  a coin operated Menckenism, a coin shoot, a large candy container, and door to easily access all your coins or just look at the inside of your machine when its in use. This is by far the most complex project i have worked on but also the most rewarding. The candy dispensing system alone when through several revisions. I used Skittles but any candy/other that fits in the dispenser will work. 

Thx for Printing
