Candy Plinko

3Dprint.com did a story on this "thing" here: http://3dprint.com/87878/3d-printed-plinko/

So candy is always awesome, but what makes candy better? Plinko of course! Here is a video of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux6LNk0vZ9I

This is a fully 3D printed Plinko style candy dispenser that is a remix of one of my earlier designs (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:663378). Ever since I created the original version, I was wanting to create a Plinko style machine, and this is what I came up with. While I was in the middle of the design process, I stumbled upon this video on Youtube by Steve Ramsey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDAbVpCc4dk). He posts many of his woodworking projects for free, so be sure to check some of his stuff out!

I designed this to use spherical candy that is roughly 0.5" in diameter. So Gobstoppers and small gumballs work perfectly (although I'm sure other candy will work as well).
