Very nice, I'm sure that gumball machine is a big hit, it brings the *kid* out of all of us

Thank you all, hard to believe a pattern I created would be one people would want. Yes I used plexi for the sides, no I didn't cut it on the machine but I probably should, I just did it on the band saw and it's not perfect. Biggest thing I would need to figure out in order to make it a pattern to sell is how to make the slide. You have to cut a ramp behind the hole to prevent jamming, and I wouldn't know how to do that in the designer. If you look in this picture you will kind of see what I mean. I did it with a sanding wheel on the dremel but if I could make it right on the CW that would be nice so that it's the right shape, depth and length every time.

Try making a rectangular carved out area with a reversed center dome set at a hight of 900 so it comes to the top. If you have 3D suite, just puff it and reverse that. I have an idea for a bin that clule ge done on the CarveWright. If you are interested, PM me.

Great job really like the gumball machine may have to try one.
Question; if I do manage to get the gumball machine dialed in and wanted to offer it in the pattern store, how do I go about doing that? And how do I figure out what to charge? Perhaps easier to just offer on my website...
I had done some additions and modifications to the project, such as making the slide and base on the CW instead of with other machines. I will do a couple runs and make sure all is well before I call it good.
