Arcade Coin Mech

thingiverse

**Design goals** 1. I wanted the cover to fit better in the body regardless of print settings without being loose enough to potentially pop out and without being tight enough that it causes the body to bow. I accomplished this by designing the slot that the cover slides into. 2. I wanted coins to very reliably drop through, so the angle of the 2 ramps is greater than the model that inspired this. 3. I had some games that had trouble passing coins into the mech, so this model has a wider opening, extending all the way to the side wall. **Pegs** Print as many as you need to mount properly in your coin door. The pegs are supposed to fit TIGHT in the peg holes, so if you decide to drill out your peg holes, be VERY careful not to make the holes too large. If the pegs don't fit tight, they won't really do their job. **Other notes** * I use 0.984 tokens. That's all I've tested with. But this should work fine with quarters or any smaller coin. I don't know how well it'll work with larger coins. * I have dozens of these mechs in my games and this design went through enough refinement to give me excellent performance. Whenever I have a coin jam in a real mech, I replace them with these and don't have problems with mechs anymore (I have had jamming in coin door chutes however). * I like to keep a ziplock bag with a couple mechs and 8 pegs in my game room at all times so I can quickly change out standard mechs during a game party. **Side note** The model I remixed had writing on the cover which got me interested in attempting something similar. The only "brand" I care to reflect is Jesus Christ who saves me from the sinful mess that I am, hence the scripture. Some may not want that, so I've also uploaded a cover that is blank.
