How I Made this Over Engineered Candy Dispenser

This is the preliminary instalment in a series of videos where I explain some of the thinking and methods behind the engineering design process. In episode 0, I cover the design of the Love Conveyor- a machine that is a little too complicated for it's simple function; dispensing candy. (You can download and print your own Love conveyor here: jbvcreative.com/products/the-...)
In this video, I talk about some of the considerations when designing a mechanical system specifically to be 3d printed. I then dive into the details of how I broke down this design problem into its parts and tackled them one by one. Some of the design choices were functional, and some were aesthetic. This is one of my favourite pieces I have made so far!
Although I don't get into the specifics and the math behind gear selection (maybe something for an upcoming video) I do provide a basis for how to begin thinking about a mechanical design project. I hope you can learn something from this video!
If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below and I will get back to you right away.

Yo! I love this! You're the only mechanical designer I've seen on yt use Solidworks rather than fusion, so I'd love to see how you built this in CAD. I'd love to see you going through your thought process and highlighting your design philosophy

[@NiSE_Rafter]

Probably because Fusion is affordable compared to the prohibitively expensive SOLIDWORKS license that keeps pretty much anyone outside of corporate industry away. I wish it weren't so because I liked SOLIDWORKS... I miss having a license...

[@simpli_A]

Incredible designing! The decoupling mechanism was so incredibly clever! Love your ability to solve problems. Great video

[@kingofcastlechaos]

New subscriber, loving the content. Even though I have been doing this for many decades, I have next to my CAD station a large bank of desktop drawers where I keep lots of various mechanisms to spark my innovation. Having something tangible in your hand does wonders for the process. Best of luck!

[@Engineezy]

Thats a great move! I need to make some sort of system of mechanisms for that exact purpose!

[@kydebest1]

very nice vid. I love these video's where you explain your thought prosses. it's inspiring!

[@Engineezy]

That is the goal! Happy creating.

[@ericcloudbolduc8840]

Great video, great explanations and great length... Inspiring

[@Engineezy]

Thanks Eric! Hope you make something awesome!

[@olliebigp]

As someone who can’t learn cad, this is so inspiring that whatever you need to do, you can learn to do it with enough time and work! Thank you.

[@Engineezy]

Very true! Keep at it 🙌

[@kingofcastlechaos]

You can learn CAD- keep at it.

[@davidclark2702]

That was fun and informative. Well done! I'm printing this next week.

[@Engineezy]

Thanks for watching! Let me know how it goes 🙌

[@ibrahimal-saif9322]

The decoupling mechanism was really really good, I would love to see more videos explaining the process of designing your mechanisms

[@Engineezy]

Thank you! Ill try to make some more detailed videos

[@tuliotech2]

Bro you are the Next Level 3D printing !!!

[@Engineezy]

Thanks Tulio!

[@BjoernAndreas]

This Video is amazing! Please make more 🙌👏

[@Engineezy]

Thanks Björn! Will do

[@karavogler1336]

This is so dope! Thanks for sharing!

[@Engineezy]

Thank you!!

[@imazinGzinGzinG]

great video! love this format

[@Engineezy]

Glad you enjoy it! More to come!

[@Mallampati4]

Just bought this and the wall mounted marble machine. Can't wait to print them!

[@Engineezy]

Yesss! Thank you so much for the support. Let me know if you need any help 👊

[@wouternrs]

Absolutely loved this! keep it up!

[@Engineezy]

Thank you!!

[@paulandrews1356]

Good stuff! I'd love to see some of your CAD trickery, especially if Fusion 360 is involved!

[@Engineezy]

Thanks Paul! Maybe I’ll get more into the CAD down the road- I use Solidworks but CAD methodologies are the same regardless.

[@colleenforrest7936]

Mechanics is my favorite programming language :)

[@shaynegryba9529]

Dude this is great content. Subscribed!

[@Engineezy]

Thanks Shayne 🙏🙏

[@Brigadoom3x3]

This is fantastic! And...I love that use SolidWorks. I'm following along with your design process and learning new features I haven't tried. Thanks!

[@Engineezy]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@vinhdau6908]

Love the vids man, lot of potential in this channel. What machines you got in your workshop

[@Engineezy]

Thanks my man! Running a Prusa MK3 and an anycubic mega, might add an ender 3 to the mix to see what the fuss is about. What about you?

[@lars-sorensen]

Love this project!

[@Engineezy]

Thanks Lars!!

[@Deltasdfrob1057]

I made this and I am very satisfied with the way it came out. Everything fits awesome and is entertaining To use. My Family thought I was a genius but I had to confess it wasn’t my design

[@Engineezy]

Awesome! Happy to hear Rob :)

[@Shmishaan]

youre a legend dude

[@Engineezy]

Appreciate it 👊👊

[@VanessaRaquelRaponi]

Yesss that paid promo 💪🏽💪🏽

[@Engineezy]

🙌🙌🙌 haha

[@bulshmemes]

No way! you use solidworks too! I just got my CSWP

[@ideafaucet5710]

Do you have to move the conveyor crank with the coupling mechanism to allow the mechanism to re-couple if the hex is misaligned?

[@Engineezy]

You can just jiggle the coupler until it goes in!

[@bigneilh]

this would be great for single pill dispensing.

[@TheControlPhilosopher]

How to I access the files for a 3D printer.

[@user-kk7mc1ct5o]

Do you have any detailed drawings? share them.

[@Engineezy]

You can purchase the STL files!

[@lewisone]

I hate chocolate, can I use skittles in this??? bwahahaaaa

[@Engineezy]

Absolutely!

[@gregersn]

Did you have any concern about food safety?

[@banimusic6495]

Plz provide me this 3 D dezine file

[@Guhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

Sadly m&ms get NASTY after a day of sitting in a non airtight area

[@Engineezy]

Oops! 🤣
