Gizmos Board Game Marble Dispenser

This is a marble dispenser for the board game Gizmos by CMON. The cardboard dispenser that came with the game ripped (and even before that it had problems with the marbles falling off the rail underneath) so I decided to make my own.

This is designed to hold true to the original game dispenser in the following ways:
- Exactly 6 marbles are displayed for selection.
- One additional is visible through the opening (which may play into strategy).
- Exactly 7 marbles are held below the hopper effectively rendering them unable to be drawn from the hopper.
- The hopper is large enough to allow users to self select "random" marbles. (The alternative would have been to have an additional mechanism to dispense random marbles but that felt less true to the game design so I decided against it).

UPDATE (2019-04-20):
- No longer a Work in Progress!
- Higher quality STLs to produce somewhat smoother curves.

• Base (v2):

  • Entire design scaled up to allow for greater tolerances
  • Added end stop to prevent marbles from rolling off the track
  • Shortened Alignment pegs to allow for easier assembly
  • Chamfer added to bottom to reduce squeeze out from heated beds.
  • Added Hollow version which takes more time to print but uses less filament and allows the base to be used for some storage. Choose whichever one suits your needs.

• Hopper (v4):

  • Entire Design scaled up to allow for greater tolerances.
  • Numerous iterations of funnel design (Still not perfect, but seems to be much more reliable than the original.)
  • Chamfer added to bottom to reduce squeeze out from heated beds.
