Introduction: A Wall Mounted Soda Machine

About: I love 3d printing and I am trying to win contests so I can fuel my hobby and become and engineer.

This is a machine that goes on my wall that uses a pump to pump soda and other drinks into a cup. My name is Sully Jenkins, I am 14 years old and in 8th grade at a middle school in California. I am making a youtube series where I make my room into something out of Dextor's Laboratory. I am looking to win the 250 dollars in the contest where you start off in tinkercad and move to fusion 360 because my 3d printer has stopped working. Winning this part of the contest is a way I can continue working on my youtube channel, thank you for looking at my project. Check out my youtube video to see me making it and to see the results in motion. https://youtu.be/VxVvTDLzUOc

A 1 inch thick, 2.5 feet long P.V.C. pipe. I found this at home depot.

Then you need a two liter bottle for the drink, I just got mine from a Vons. And you need to use the bottle cap.

Step 1: Designing the Bottle Holder.

First, I measured a 2 liter bottle. I then took those measurements and made a case for it. I then designed supports onto it to make it fit on the wall better.

Step 2: Designing the Batterie Holder.

Next, I designed a box that attaches to my wall that I can put the batteries in, and the button on. The wires then come out the top to attach to the pump housing.

Step 3: Designing the Pump Housing.

Now I measure the pump and make a mountable box for it. It is designed so that the wires can go through the bottom and the vinyl tubing can go out the top. Finally, it is ventilated to make the pump suck in air more easily.

Step 4: Designing Pipe Holders and Guiders.

The holders will hold the pipe onto the wall for the tube to go down. The guiders will be used to guide the tube down in a spiral so it can go to the dispenser part.

Step 5: Designing the Dispenser Nozzle.

This is the final design, it is the nozzle of the machine. The vinyl tubing goes through the top and comes out through the top for cups to go into it.

Step 6: Finishing Everything in Fusion 360.

This is my final design step. I will now bring everything into fusion 360 where I can round out the edges of certain parts, I also will make sure that everything is up to the correct size and shape. Then I can print all the parts. I was originally using fusion 360 on a school computer and our computers shut down for the summer, so I could only get pictures of the exported product.

Step 7: Mounting the Soda Holder.

I first glued together the parts. I then put adhesive command strips on the back of the holder. Finally, I mounted the holder.

Step 8: Attaching the Tubing to the Bottle.

I put holes into the bottle cap and then cut the tube into two pieces. I then put the shorter end in the left side and the longer end in the right side.

Step 9: Mounting the Batterie Holder.

I attached the button to the box, and then glued the batterie holders in. Finally I wired everything together and used to adhesive strips to put on the wall.

Step 10: Mounting the Pump Housing.

I then put the pump into its housing, where I attach the wires and the vinyl tube. Then I attach it to the wall using the adhesive strips.

Step 11: Mounting the P.v.c. Pipe.

I glued on all of the tube guides and then took the long vinyl tubing and wrapped it around the pipe. Finally I mounted the pipe onto the wall.

Step 12: Mounting the Nozzle.

I mounted the nozzle onto the wall, and then put the tubing through the top hole.

Step 13: Attaching the Stop Valves to the Tubing.

I cut the tubing at the pump end and the nozzle end and put the mini valves between them. To get soda, I just need to open both valves before hand, and shut them when I'm done. This makes it so the drink does not just poor out continuously, and so carbonated drinks do not just bubble out.

Step 14: Finally Finishing.

All you need to do is flip the valves and push the button and have the machine dispense any drink you want. Once again, I am trying to win the award for starting in tinkercad and finishing in fusion 360. Check out my youtube video to see the final results in motion. https://youtu.be/VxVvTDLzUOc
