Everything you need to build GACHA machine work with used bottle caps instead of coins
Collecting plastic waste is boring. Since we run a community to make keyboards out of wasted bottle caps(check out #ANYCAP), we know how hard and boring it is to collect waste plastic. In order to make recycling playful, we made a capsule toy machine ('Gachapon' in Japanese) that people can challenge with bottle caps instead of coins. The machine is made from MDF & Acrylic board. So you can make it easily at your local fab space.
The Build Kit consists of 5.5mm MDF, 3mm acrylic sheet, and mechanical parts. Cut data for MDF and acrylic sheets are available on Github.
We made a video tutrial. If you are interested, please check it out!
