This is a great vending machine model. I have printed it and it works great. I am using it for small packs of trading cards that I make and I haven’t had a problem with it. I printed it in PET-G, and I would encourage others to do the same. If you have one of these made of PLA packed in your car in the sun then it will deform and be ruined. PET-G for the win.
The instructions are a work in progress, but I was able to get everything put together and working by following them. I will say that this took over 80 hours to print on top of assembly time. The build requires some acrylic sheets (~$12), 3 rolls of filament ($45), M3 threaded inserts($7) and potentially 2 variety packs of M3 bolts (~$18). So that is $82 before the cost of the files themselves.
If you can find a cheap used card/sticker machine in your area that will work for your needs then snap one up at under $100. If you want to have something special that will stand out on display and have always wanted this type of machine then I wouldn’t hesitate to tackle this project.
As this takes tokens and does not lock securely, it isn’t appropriate for putting on a route, but it is perfect for art/craft fairs, stores and such. These take tokens, so you would sell the token and then the purchaser gets the fun of using a vending machine.
I love it.

So far so good! I’ve finished the base and just have to complete the top. I’ll update my review once I’m done. My plan is to use this in my classroom as a fundraiser selling my student’s art cards and handmade stickers. I’m still getting used to my printer and this is definitely not for a beginner. I have had to use my wood burner to smooth out some things that printed oddly, but that was my fault/printing issues, not the designs fault. I do agree with the other review that this is many days of printing/assembling. And it does take about $100 worth of supplies, but that’s still less than the cost of a sticker machine and I could even put some small keychains/magnets in the packs if I wanted to. I’ve been working on it every day for 3 weeks (granted I have had some troubleshooting). But all that to say that the mechanics of the machine work perfectly!! I highly recommend printing the coin mechanism first (currently free), if you can print it and have it all work then printing the entire machine will be pretty easy.
