Improved Drums (7 sizes) for VEND

The original VEND drum hopper capacity was too large and when filled with Peanut M&Ms tended to stick and cut some of the candies when turning the drum. Cutting was even noticeable with smaller candies like M&Ms or Smarties.

To prevent the cutting of the candies, I have incorporated a smooth off ramp which helps to gradually skim the excess candies off of the hopper when the drum is turned.

I have also included 7 drums with 7 different hopper sizes.

To allow users to experiment with different hopper sizes to see how much candy they can hold without having to print the entire drum, I have included test hoppers that match each of the 9 different drums. *Note: you don't need to print these to make the drum work but you will save a lot of material by testing first to make sure you are satisfied with the amount of candy the hopper can hold.
