🦖 Crackasaurs Vending Machine! (Patreon)

Hey Patrons!

Sorry for being quiet for a while - I’ve been working on a bigger project that required a lot of testing and dedication… but here it is! A vending machine perfectly matching the Crackasaurs 🥚🦕

This little machine can be a fun way to distribute eggs at a booth during a fair, or even an option for parents: hide the tokens and let the kid who finds them draw a surprise egg!

You already know the Crackasaurs - there are 10 different species in the set! I really hope you’ll enjoy this project. Since it’s quite a large model, it’s suitable for bigger printers like the Bambu Lab P1P or P1S. Unfortunately, the A1 Mini won’t handle such dimensions. All screws and mechanisms are sized precisely, so apologies to those of you with smaller machines! Don’t worry though - new projects that fit smaller build plates will be coming soon.

If you missed it - Crackasaurs Vol. 1 is available on my MakerWorld profile for download 🙂

👉 The model doesn’t require supports. All important details are included in the Assembly Instruction PDF (please read it carefully - it’s full of tips that will help you put everything together!).

Magnet-ready dinos for the display will be released soon 🧲🦖

Thanks so much for your patience, understanding, and constant support ❤️

Wow! Very impressive and different. You do incredible work. Thanks!

DeezFiles

Omg I can't wait to make this.

DeezFiles

How many eggs can it hold

WarrickB

This looks amazing! This will be perfect for the upcoming shows I have at the end of the month!

Jonathan Gill

OMG This is fantastic. Hope I can print it in time for my first church fair at the end of the month!

Giamarie Saponaro

OOOOH MY GOSH THIS IS FREAKING AH-MAZING!!! I only typed the PG version, that is NOT what came out of my mouth out loud soon as I seen this!!! I am in awe and about to buy a whole bunch more filament right now. Thank you so much for this awesome piece of art! I can not wait for some of my printers to free up so I can start this project! 🥰💜

PrintyJay

Yeah, this project does take quite a bit of filament :D I’m really glad you like it! :)

PrintyJay

Awesome, keeping my fingers crossed! If it works out, please share some photos - I’m super curious to see how the vending machine looks in action! :)

Giamarie Saponaro

I do!! I’m waiting for printers still… Ugg!! I’m so impatient! And I’ve got 14 of them 🙄

PrintyJay

If you’re on Discord, feel free to drop some photos after shows - I’d really love to see how the vending machine looks in its natural habitat hehe :D

PrintyJay

14 printers!!! That’s basically a factory haha! So cool to have such a setup :)

Giamarie Saponaro

Hahaha it’s a mini farm I guess but I run this entire operation by myself and produce thousands of prints a month. I also support about 35 creators to keep up with new items. It is A LOT of work. That’s why I was so grateful to find you! I truly appreciate your work and being different! I needed this so much. Thank you. I appreciate you and your amazing work 🥰

PrintyJay

That’s really so kind of you to say, thank you! It honestly means a lot ❤️ I always try to design my models the way I feel them and add a bit of extra value to each one :) Also, just a quick note - please make sure to download the file called vending-machine-lattice-window-lock (it was missing yesterday). Unless you’re only using the STL files - in that case, you might want to re-download the two small parts for the lattice window closure, as I accidentally left them out yesterday!

Giamarie Saponaro

You are VERY welcome! Thank you for letting me know about the extra file!! Oh, and by the way... there is always room for "EXTRA" 😉

Teena Jewell

Which filament colors did you use?

Amy Rice

This is such a cool idea! I've been printing it and don't see the file for the bone handle turner or the arrows. Is it somewhere specific that I'm just not seeing?

PrintyJay

Thanks so much for letting me know! The folders have now been updated - some files didn’t upload properly before, sooo sorry about that!

PrintyJay

I uploaded the full list of filaments I used into the folder - please check it out :) Also, make sure to download the previously missing parts such as the bone knob, arrows, and window lock.

Amy Rice

Thanks so much!

Amy Rice

Thanks so much!

Do you think this will print well on an A1? We have a show in a week with a large variety of eggs. This would be an amazing piece! Also, Will you be adding anything to it to possibly hold the mallets to go along with it? Cannot wait to print this one out :)

PrintyJay

I think it should definitely print well on the A1 🙂 Just keep in mind that there are also some more delicate parts, like the small plants. Please make sure brim is enabled, and based on your own experience you can also add a bit of glue to the build plate in areas where there’s a chance parts might detach. My prints were made on build plates with dimensions of 256 × 256 × 256 mm.

Amy Rice

Thanks for fixing that so quickly! One other issue I'm having...the dowl that holds the token drawer in place is printing too big to fit in the hole. I will try downsizing it a bit but fyi.

PrintyJay

hey! search in stl files for this one: vending-machine-stone-stud i need to upl it into profile! sorry

cute puppylover wauchek

Is there a link for a video to put this together? Maybe it's me but I'm confused. I've got everything printed and keep trying just not understanding 😕

PrintyJay

Have you had a chance to go through the PDF instructions yet? I’ll also try to upload a video by the end of the week to show the full assembly :)

Jonathan Gill

really love this, still printing it, after a printer disaster taking it out for 2 weeks! Ive had a thought though, the eggs we drop the crackasaurs in, can we have an egg that we can "rebuild" I know part of the fun is smashing the egg, but that makes it a one time thing, and a throw away item. Just a thought!

Sabrina D

Hey, just curious I tried to find it on Makerworld but didn't see it. I did just join today so not sure if I missed out on it or not.

PrettyLayered

Another wooowie. so great for events.

PrintyJay

Unfortunately, because of the size of this project and the internal mechanisms, it simply cannot be resized to fit the A1 Mini. Even after optimizing the parts, the model is still too large for the A1 Mini’s build volume.

PrintyJay

I think yes - that can happen. Depending on the weight and on what (and how much) is placed inside the eggs, small blockages may occur sometimes. This is also related to the slightly “pointy” shape of the eggs. From other users’ experience, it works best when there are around 11 to 15 eggs inside the machine. With fewer eggs, there is less pressure on the bottom ones, which reduces the chance of jamming. Thanks again, and I’m really happy to hear it was a success at the market! 😊

Tami Gardner

hi, I just joined for free and am considering either buying this file if available or joining just for this, it's so amazing. I tried to find it on makerworld as stated in your post but it doesn't show up. Where can i get this file, I don't mind buying it? please help! I don't want to join and then find out i still can't get it.

PrintyJay

Hi! I think joining is actually the better option - with the membership you get not only the Vending Machine, but also Crackasaurs Vol.2, Fossil Puzzles, Owl Hooter, Axolotl Terrarium and the Bearded Dragon Terrarium as well. It’s the best value if you like this type of models and want to print more than just one file 😊

Tami Gardner

ok, thanks. I probably will, i just wanted to be sure this file was available if i did.

Torita Byrd

Hi if I purchase a membership is this file available and included with membership

Torita Byrd

Will you be making other types of vending machines in the near future

Torita Byrd

I’m thinking about purchasing the year membership, how many designs do you guarantee each month, also can you send list of the files I will receive once I join please

Torita Byrd

Hi will you be making other vending machines or are you going to introduce something else for the next design

PrintyJay

Hi! Great questions! I guarantee 3-4 new designs each month (sometimes more - it depends on the complexity). My projects are often more than just a small figure or a single animal - many of them include interactive elements or more complex systems, so the number of releases may vary depending on development time. About future vending machines - I’m not sure yet. It’s definitely possible! It will depend on how many people would like to see another one and how much interest there is from the community. Currently available models: Rough Green Snake Tini Farm - Little Cow Tini Farm - Little Goat Axolotl Tank Owl Hooters BONUS: Dino Fossil Puzzles Crackasaurs Vol. 2 Crackasaurs Vol. 1 Crackasaurs Vending Machine I hope you’ve seen the Orbitails Vending Machine - if not, here is the link 😉 https://makerworld.com/pl/models/1900106-orbitails-egg-vending-machine-part-1#profileId-2036302

Jacque Prince

Hi I joined and it says that this is on Maker World but I do not see it. How can I get file?

Angie Williams

Does anyone have a video showing the assembly process? I am so much better at learning visually! The instruction manual hurts my brain! 😳😬😉

Angie Williams

Thank you! That was tremendously helpful!

rexy2009

Hello!! I printed this yesterday and it's too adorable! My question is what size rubber band are you using? The smallest I had is still loose, and I"d like to order some but not sure what size to order. It still works with what I have but id like to get something that actually fits. Thank You!

PrintyJay

Hi! Unfortunately I'm away from my computer and won't be able to check the exact rubber band size until Monday. 😊 Have you tried folding a slightly larger rubber band in half? That might work quite well and give a tighter fit.

PrintyJay

I used the rubber 10 mm diameter.
