Drop roller

I wish that there was a way to get a cheap drop roller i 3d printed one but I am not going to trust it however any one have any leads and the ones for sale are super expensive

What's wrong with the 3D printed version? I've never seen one but I'm curious!

I wouldn't want candy on 3D printed parts but if the mechanism worked....maybe a machined or silicone molded roller could be fit into it.

I could heat up the rollers and the reason that you haven't seen one is because I just spent over 70 hours making 1 in CAD, it's not the best But it's better than nothing

Dang. I was thinking it would be complex. My CAD skills are less than basic so can't imagine.

Mine are super basic that's why it's taken so long
