Coffee-pod Carousel Caddy

Design Concept Created in the style of the traditional British Tea Caddy; this caddy with a familiar crest emblazoned on its side, stands 24cm (9 inches) tall and conceals 3 rotating platters, each holding 8 Nespresso sized coffee pods.

The pods sit securely in the platters, but are raised up slightly to allow for easy loading and selection.

Options

1. If you would prefer to use this as a tea caddy or a cookie jar, additional files have been supplied. Simply print the Body, Top Nut (handle) and the following two files, then follow the instructions in the section below:

08. Coffee Caddy - Cookie Jar Adaption - Bolt.stl

08. Coffee Caddy - Cookie Jar Adaption - Lid.stl

2. There is also an alternative top nut (handle) option with knurling: 06b. Coffee Caddy - Top Nut (Knurled).stl

3. If you would like to print the crest separately from the body, swap out the #07A STL file for the two #07b STL files.
