0,33l Can dispenser (A1 Mini Ready)

29.07.2025 Improved - the new model v3 out now!
I have improved my 0.33 l can dispenser model again.
The joints are new. Their shape has been changed, and the tolerances are also tighter. This makes them easier and more secure to glue. It creates a cleaner look on the sides. The print time has been optimized: it's considerably faster and uses slightly less filament. And last but not least: This makes the model printable on the Bambu Lab A1 Mini and other small printers. (Yes, that's right, 10 can dispensers can be printed on the A1 Mini :))

To assemble the V3, glue the sides first. The four large connectors are marked with letters (A, B, C, and D), which you can find on the can dispenser. Add some shims at the front and back to keep the construction straight. The joints are 0.6mm high, so you'll need to put some spacer on the left and right sides. Perhaps a small coin or a few pages from a magazine. Just make sure it's straight. This is easy to see by the middle bars; they need to be parallel. The tolerances have been changed so that superglue could also work. However, due to the brittle properties of CA, I still recommend 5-minute epoxy.

 

 

 

The new print profile is now online. Enjoy!

This model is based on my original design for 0.5L EU cans.

This version has been specifically adapted for 0.33L EU cans. In addition, the top bar has been slightly set back to ensure a more attractive removal. The overall design has been adapted for the lighter cans, thus saving filament.

It's a can dispenser for the refrigerator. It holds a total of 10 0.33L cans, the kind commonly used in Europe for soda, energy drinks, and beer. Automatically pushes the next can to the front. The model comes on four plates and must be glued together. I chose the bonding tolerances to allow for a bit more play to compensate for printing inaccuracies and provide enough space for the adhesive. It's therefore designed for 5-minute epoxy, so superglue (CA) is unsuitable. The model is designed so that you finish gluing the side panels first and then join the left and right halves together.

I printed PETG with the Bambu Lab A1. Without any problems.

Have fun printing.
