I Made a Fully Functional LEGO GUMBALL MACHINE!

- Gumball machines evoke such nostalgia that they instantly transport you back to childhood memories. Starting from one penny, the standard cost of one gumball is now one quarter. The idea of "1 quarter for 1 gumball" struck me, and I managed to design a WORKING gumball machine solely made with LEGO parts that dispenses one real gumball when you insert one quarter dollar.
This gumball machine model features a classic design that matches real ones. It can be separated into two main parts: a clear top (gumball container) with a removable white cap, and a red base that plays the most critical role.
Inside the base, I designed a series of mechanisms so that when the coin is inserted into the slot of the panel and a handle is turned clockwise 360 degrees, the coin will be deposited in the base of the machine, allowing a gumball to be dispensed into a chute at the bottom of the machine. A tray is placed under the base to collect the coins, and it can be opened with a key and then pulled out of the machine.
Another unique design is the handle lock function. Without a coin, the handle cannot be turned in either direction. This function is accomplished by a ratchet gear structure at the back of the panel.
During the design, I found that the coins and gumballs can be replaced with Lego parts, which means if it becomes an official set, even without a quarter dollar or gumballs, the machine can still work fine with Lego parts! The only drawback is that you can't actually eat the candy though.

Hey guys! I'm turning this work into a product idea! Please support me on LEGO IDEAS by going to ideas.lego.com/s/p:a20271d4d6ce456b9443bf081b2ab63c and hit the support button! Many thanks!!!
Really neat mechanism and design!
That’s some really satisfying sound!
It blows my mind what people can create with legos. It’s almost like Minecraft. The limit is your own imagination.
Merry Christmas!!!

You could make a Trick Or Treat one that is 50% Gumballs and 50% Lego Balls
Amazing design！
Amazingly simple! Love your designs! Can't wait to be here when you blow up! 😁
Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
I see why LEGO would not accept this project: their toys should be available and usable all over the world, and this one requires coins that are found only in America.
Then he should
D make some coins out of lego
not necessarily. the machine depends on the thickness of the coin instead of the size, and i am sure that most if not all of the coins in the world are atleast 1 mm which surely his machine can accommodate
theyre chinese coins

Lolol what?
It’s mind blowing what yoy achieve 😮
Omg thank you
Can you please make a tutorial video please I want to do it so can you make a tutorial video please I am subbed ❤❤
If used all transgreen zamor spheres, this could easily represent the container Makuta Teridax has placed himself inside there 2006 part of bionicle 😂
I’m like watching this in 2024
It’s not Christmas
Tbg i would wish someone is selling a menial of this so at least i can use the spare bricks on it or buy some for this
If a real gumball works then does a lego ball too must be if a lego ball works then a real gumball works too
Can you please make a tutorial video?
Hey, I want to you ask about battery boxs 😅 I can’t decide whether I should go for the one with multiple outputs or just one, I am completely new to this so I don’t know which one is better
I think the one with multiple outputs would be really expensive now, if what you are thinking of is the black one with adjustable speed output…
@@sunprobricks ahh okay , then I should start out with less expensive ones, can you tell me what I need just to get into the technical side, like for just trying it out
Get a technic set, or just go to bricklink and get some technic parts. You can always re-use them if you start to know about new mechanisms!
I can buy?
Thx but mechanism only
