🦖 Crackasaurs Vending Machine!
Hey Patrons!
Sorry for being quiet for a while - I’ve been working on a bigger project that required a lot of testing and dedication… but here it is! A vending machine perfectly matching the Crackasaurs 🥚🦕
This little machine can be a fun way to distribute eggs at a booth during a fair, or even an option for parents: hide the tokens and let the kid who finds them draw a surprise egg!
You already know the Crackasaurs - there are 10 different species in the set! I really hope you’ll enjoy this project. Since it’s quite a large model, it’s suitable for bigger printers like the Bambu Lab P1P or P1S. Unfortunately, the A1 Mini won’t handle such dimensions. All screws and mechanisms are sized precisely, so apologies to those of you with smaller machines! Don’t worry though - new projects that fit smaller build plates will be coming soon.
If you missed it - Crackasaurs Vol. 1 is available on my MakerWorld profile for download 🙂
👉 The model doesn’t require supports. All important details are included in the Assembly Instruction PDF (please read it carefully - it’s full of tips that will help you put everything together!).
Magnet-ready dinos for the display will be released soon 🧲🦖
Thanks so much for your patience, understanding, and constant support ❤️

Hello!! I printed this yesterday and it's too adorable! My question is what size rubber band are you using? The smallest I had is still loose, and I"d like to order some but not sure what size to order. It still works with what I have but id like to get something that actually fits. Thank You!
Hi! Unfortunately I'm away from my computer and won't be able to check the exact rubber band size until Monday. 😊 Have you tried folding a slightly larger rubber band in half? That might work quite well and give a tighter fit.
Does anyone have a video showing the assembly process? I am so much better at learning visually! The instruction manual hurts my brain! 😳😬😉
I don't have the video with assembly of this model, but I've designed the similar vending machine and I've made the video showing the assembly process. Please check: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwYN7OJ4VAQ&t=10s

Hi will you be making other vending machines or are you going to introduce something else for the next design
Hi! Great questions! I guarantee 3-4 new designs each month (sometimes more - it depends on the complexity). My projects are often more than just a small figure or a single animal - many of them include interactive elements or more complex systems, so the number of releases may vary depending on development time. About future vending machines - I’m not sure yet. It’s definitely possible! It will depend on how many people would like to see another one and how much interest there is from the community. Currently available models: Rough Green Snake Tini Farm - Little Cow Tini Farm - Little Goat Axolotl Tank Owl Hooters BONUS: Dino Fossil Puzzles Crackasaurs Vol. 2 Crackasaurs Vol. 1 Crackasaurs Vending Machine I hope you’ve seen the Orbitails Vending Machine - if not, here is the link 😉 https://makerworld.com/pl/models/1900106-orbitails-egg-vending-machine-part-1#profileId-2036302
I’m thinking about purchasing the year membership, how many designs do you guarantee each month, also can you send list of the files I will receive once I join please
Will you be making other types of vending machines in the near future
Hi if I purchase a membership is this file available and included with membership
yes! this is a Bonus model :)
hi, I just joined for free and am considering either buying this file if available or joining just for this, it's so amazing. I tried to find it on makerworld as stated in your post but it doesn't show up. Where can i get this file, I don't mind buying it? please help! I don't want to join and then find out i still can't get it.
Hi! I think joining is actually the better option - with the membership you get not only the Vending Machine, but also Crackasaurs Vol.2, Fossil Puzzles, Owl Hooter, Axolotl Terrarium and the Bearded Dragon Terrarium as well. It’s the best value if you like this type of models and want to print more than just one file 😊
Les a1 mini sons oublier!
Unfortunately, because of the size of this project and the internal mechanisms, it simply cannot be resized to fit the A1 Mini. Even after optimizing the parts, the model is still too large for the A1 Mini’s build volume.
Another wooowie. so great for events.
Hey, just curious I tried to find it on Makerworld but didn't see it. I did just join today so not sure if I missed out on it or not.
Hey. The download links are available here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/138860882
really love this, still printing it, after a printer disaster taking it out for 2 weeks! Ive had a thought though, the eggs we drop the crackasaurs in, can we have an egg that we can "rebuild" I know part of the fun is smashing the egg, but that makes it a one time thing, and a throw away item. Just a thought!
Is there a link for a video to put this together? Maybe it's me but I'm confused. I've got everything printed and keep trying just not understanding 😕
Have you had a chance to go through the PDF instructions yet? I’ll also try to upload a video by the end of the week to show the full assembly :)
Do you think this will print well on an A1? We have a show in a week with a large variety of eggs. This would be an amazing piece! Also, Will you be adding anything to it to possibly hold the mallets to go along with it? Cannot wait to print this one out :)
I think it should definitely print well on the A1 🙂 Just keep in mind that there are also some more delicate parts, like the small plants. Please make sure brim is enabled, and based on your own experience you can also add a bit of glue to the build plate in areas where there’s a chance parts might detach. My prints were made on build plates with dimensions of 256 × 256 × 256 mm.
This is such a cool idea! I've been printing it and don't see the file for the bone handle turner or the arrows. Is it somewhere specific that I'm just not seeing?
Thanks so much for letting me know! The folders have now been updated - some files didn’t upload properly before, sooo sorry about that!
Which filament colors did you use?
I uploaded the full list of filaments I used into the folder - please check it out :) Also, make sure to download the previously missing parts such as the bone knob, arrows, and window lock.
OOOOH MY GOSH THIS IS FREAKING AH-MAZING!!! I only typed the PG version, that is NOT what came out of my mouth out loud soon as I seen this!!! I am in awe and about to buy a whole bunch more filament right now. Thank you so much for this awesome piece of art! I can not wait for some of my printers to free up so I can start this project! 🥰💜
Yeah, this project does take quite a bit of filament :D I’m really glad you like it! :)
OMG This is fantastic. Hope I can print it in time for my first church fair at the end of the month!
Awesome, keeping my fingers crossed! If it works out, please share some photos - I’m super curious to see how the vending machine looks in action! :)
This looks amazing! This will be perfect for the upcoming shows I have at the end of the month!
If you’re on Discord, feel free to drop some photos after shows - I’d really love to see how the vending machine looks in its natural habitat hehe :D
How many eggs can it hold
it can hold around 30 eggs :)
Omg I can't wait to make this.
Can't wait to start this!
Wow! Very impressive and different. You do incredible work. Thanks!
thank you!
Was für eine grandiose Idee 🥰
Vielen Dank! 😊
