Pipe Gimble

thingiverse

Gimble used to dispense halloween candy from a mobile platform in times of COVID-19 using a 3" PVC pipe. Hopefully you can find a different use for this. You'll need a surprisingly heavy counterweight on the pipe to balance it. Print 1 of everything and 2 of the swivel bolts. You'll need the following hardware to put it together: - a section of 3" (75mm) PVC pipe (I used 4'). - Some M4 socket head cap screws and hex nuts. - A 1/2" by 2" bolt - ?I think? - A1/2" nut. I should probably make something to hold a counterweight. The FreeCAD source file is there is you if you need to adapt it to a different diameter of pipe. It should be parameterized pretty well. Note that if you want to shove candy down the pipe, 3" is about the bare minimum to fit the majority of candy (no chip bags please).
