Retro Candy Dispenser

With V12 comes the ability to design and draw in the 3D view. If you have not tried it yet, then this video will be a great introduction for you! Todd will design and draw the plans for a fun retro candy dispenser all in the 3D view showing how easy and fast it is to use this new workflow.

Starting from a sketch as a guide to the real world size, Todd can quickly transfer its measurements and create the initial vectors needed. Using some of the built in vector editing features he will then break the design down, move parts onto the necessary layers, and then to the proper sheets. From here there are just a few simple toolpaths to be made, and some tricks to get a “chamfer” effect so the candy rolls out easily… maybe a bit too easily… :)

This is a fun and satisfying build that has a tasty end game! For all of you old enough to remember the gumball machines of the past this will bring back some memories! Don’t forget this design could also be customized for your four legged friends as a pet treat dispenser. We can’t wait to see what you do with this project!

Have fun making, and make fun stuff!
