Overview:
Easily restock cans without needing keep a very large stock of cans that a lot of the other dispensers expect. Side-loading for First In-First Out and to make it easier instead of needing to load from the back (which isn't always possible) or the need to remove all cans first.
Details:
This unit is designed to hold 4 x 75mm diameter by 110mm tall cans which is the most common size where I am. The entire unit is printed and snaps together without fasteners. They also stack on top of one another using built-in pegs. Though I would not recommend more than three high without some kind of reinforcement (such as being against a wall) due to the front being thinner and can wobble with the weight.
I printed mine out of ABS, I did not test other materials. The fitment is tight, as intended, so you might not be able to completely assemble it without a hammer. If the rods are too loose you can apply some glue, if they are too tight to fit at all you can scale them down slightly in your slicer.
Assembly:
Place one wall flat to install the 5 rods. The fitment was tight for me and required light tapping but you do not need them to fully seat yet.
You can put the shelf in place now if you like but you should be able to snap it in place after assembly as well. It is used to make loading from the side easier.
Set the other wall on top, aligning all of the rods, and tap it in to place. I used a soft hammer and worked my way around slowly.
(picture missing)
Ensure all of the rods seat fully. It'll be flush with the outside and the nub on the rod will be against the wall. Don't be too aggressive or you could snap off the nub and have the rod no longer be flush with the outer wall.
