spiral gumball machine question
Mysterioii:
If it's hidden from view and is a non-moving part (or a simple pivot) then I'd suggest trying to crudely make one real quick out of a low-temp thermoplastic (Amazon has a few varieties... instamorph, friendly plastic... there are others. The makershed store carried a variety but I can't recall the name and I'm not sure if they still carry it). They come in pellet form and you just melt them in hot water out of the microwave and shape them however you want. When they cool they'll be fairly sturdy with a little flex (depending on how thin the part is). I wouldn't use it for gears but it should be fine for catchin' a gumball.

Just got some free time to get back to this, here is a picture of what i am working with. I am sure i could make something but I would like to find out what originally there. I also need to fix the spiral but that is an easy fix, just need to get the time.
uolarethian:
Does any one have one of these gumball machines?
