Gumball Machine - Simple and Classic!

This is a super simple one-button gumball machine. I designed a spring for the Gumball machine that works better than any 3d-printed spring I could find elsewhere. the design of the machine makes it very reliable. It is suitable for Standard size gumballs (1 inch) or smaller. It also works with small candies for a small handful. It prints well in PLA although ABS or PETG would likely make a stronger spring. This is my very first model I have made that I thought would be worthy of sharing and it works surprisingly well for my lack of experience. I have learned a great deal about 3d-designing while creating this machine. I found new features in my 3d design program (OnShape) and I learned a surprising amount about gumballs. The standard Gumball size is one inch although larger and smaller gumballs are made. They range from half an inch to 2 inchs. The chart shown below is the size chart from Gumballs.com (Yes, I know, literally Gumballs.com) and the number inside shows how many gumballs
