Can Dispenser UK/EU 10x 330/440ml Drink / Beer

June26 re-design note. @s0ren reported that in his print of the 8 can holder, he had problems removing cans (removal aperture not high enough). He had printed in PLA, I had printed in PETG, perhaps there was a difference in shrinkage percent? Either way, the front retaining arcs have been lowered by 4mm to ensure cans can be removed easily irrespective of the print filament used (stl's and bGcode updated for 8 can front sections)

This is a parts print set that can be configured for 330ml and 440ml UK/EU (66mm diameter) drink cans. It can also be configured for either Large fridges (a 350mm shelf), to hold 10 cans; or for compact fridges (a 300mm shelf), to hold 8 cans. Use either the '10' frame set, or the '8' frame set. All pictures are of the 10 can version. Both versions have evaporator 'touch' pads on the back, to limit contact if they accidentally touch the evaporator plate, so you wont flood your fridge with condensate.

Build Notes: All joints are an interference fit and require light use of a small hammer to make good. Longitudinal joints are dove-tailed to ensure can momentum doesn't pull them apart over time. The lighter side-struts have 180 flipped dove-tails to evenly dissipate stress. If printing in PETG the struts are sufficiently flexible to allow you to reverse the struts during assembly to make good the dove-tail joints on the light struts. If you do not want to change can sizes then bridge rods can also be superglued.  Use the 58mm bridge rods for a 330ml can (1x front rod, 1x rear rod, 2x top rod). Use the 155mm rod set for a 440ml can.

Print Notes: These are multi-part prints that must be assembled. I printed in PETG since it is food-grade, waterproof and UV stable. The bases of each dove-tail have a 2.1mm recess that requires bed support if you are working from STL's. Bridge rods can all be orientated so that they do not require support. The BGcode has the supports built in. Remove the support material cleanly and accurately before attempting assembly. 20% gyroid fill seems sufficient, despite my minimising the vertical load baring structure.
