Cat Food Can Dispenser for 3oz cans, holds 12

Designed to hold a dozen 3oz (85g) cans of cat food, this dispenser is a remix adding a tab panel for labels. Thanks to Fresh Brewed Design for the expanded 12-can model, itself based on Ederick's 10-can model, in turn remixed from MR2C280's soda/beer can dispenser. I love remix culture.

Designed for 40x30mm thermal label stickers.

Assembled Dimensions:

• Height: 187mm  (7 3/8")
• Length: 412mm (16 ¼")
• Width: 48mm (1 7/8")

Assembly:

1. First assemble left halves and right halves, so you have two long parts. They slide into place horizontally. Some pressure may be required.

2. The left and right halves will now slide together vertically.

Printing Notes:

• Prints in four pieces on a P1S or similar size bed
• 9 hour print time using Bambu PETG HF, or 11 hour print time using generic PETG profile
• Enable supports, the label tabs stand off the base by about 1mm. The supports snap off easily
• PETG recommended
• Printed with 3 walls, 10% gyroid infill, and adaptive layer height for a standard 0.4mm nozzle
• I enjoy screamingly bright colors. I believe Bambu's green PETG HF is the same as the Sunlu green I used in these photos, so I linked it in the supply list so you, too, can have screamingly cheerful can dispensers! Or, you know, hit up your favorite vendor or use up some old filament. Just be sure to dry it first.

And yes, I ran out of filament and switched colors while printing. Twice. Though I optimized for less filament usage, you probably could be more aggressive still at reducing infill. And it probably would do fine with just 2 walls.
