Day 6: Nespresso capsule dispenser
 Nespresso dispenser design (including support) For those of you who don't know. Nespresso is a brand of espresso/coffee similar to Keurig, only better. It uses single serving containers known as "capsules" that come in a tall square sleeve. Nespresso makes all sorts of dispensers for the capsules, but they're expensive. I want to make a modular dispenser that you can mount to the wall or inside a cupboard door with a 3M command strip. The idea is to print as many or as few dispensers as varieties of coffee you keep on hand. You can also print them in different colors, to correspond to the capsule sleeves. I made two designs, one having the dispensing hole filled in with support material, and the other, unsupported. I did this because I'm just not sure that the 40mm span across the opening will print very well as an open space. |  Printed dispensers on red ABS |
After printing these, I find that the opening is way too big. I'll call this day in the challenge a successful attempt at identifying something that doesn't exactly work. I'll keep this one for further development because Day 7 of the challenge has already begun.
