3D Printing a Better Coin Sorter
Coin sorter machines are fun, and the last one I printed sucked. I found another on Thingiverse thanks to The JAT.MN, and it’s Eugene Pentland’s model. Let’s give it a try on the Prusa i3 mk2 in Rapunzel silver PLA. Yes, the thumbnail pays tribute to what everyone THOUGHT the other video was about 🙂 […]
