Hello! It's been a VERY long time since I posted on Knex for various reasons, and I just got an idea for a little dispenser module. I haven't seen many Knex candy machines, and I don't think I've seen any with instructions, so I'm gonna add to that small collection. It's compact with not to many pieces, and the mechanism is simple. It doesn't have a coin thing, but I'll try to add one. Also, some of the pics are blurry (neeeed a new camera), so sorry about that. The pictures will also explain most of the build. The video down below is the dispenser with Jelly Bellys.

This step shows you how to build the part that houses the slide mechanism. If you run out of white 8-way connectors, use the 7-way blue connectors. Lots of random green/black rods to keep the mechanism smooth.

Candy Chute!

This tube-like thing holds all the candy or whatever you put inside the dispenser.

This is the part that dispenses the candy and the ramp directs the falling candy to the receiving box.

Connect all the parts in order as seen in the images. Also, get two thin rubber bands.

Done!
