Nespresso Vertuo Capsule Drawers!
Inspired heavily by the two models mentioned below, I married their concepts into one amazing Nespresso Capsule dispenser. The pictured product features 4 drawers, but you can print as many or as few as you wish.

Printing:
For each Drawer level, print:
Then when complete, print 1x TOP.stl to cap off the top of the unit. Optionally, you can print a second TOP to serve as a bottom if you're placing this on a counter and need it to look a little more finished.
I printed mine in PLA with a 0.6mm nozzle - 0.28mm layer height - 10% infill.
Assembly:
Each side/top piece is equipped with 4 - 4mm holes which align with the next part. This is for 4mm dowels or pins which can help align the parts for glue-up.
You'll also see that each side piece has a notch at the back. This is to inset to the back piece. There's no need for a full back, just these short strips to help maintain some ridgidity.
Usage:
The pins on the side of the drawer will ride in the grooves of the two sides. They're super easy to insert and move back and forth. The pin just in front of the back pin acts as the pivot, and the back pin rides in the channel to act as a stop and prevent the drawer from pivoting too far.
The capsules fit easily and snuggly in the drawers and, while easy to place and remove, are held in quite securely.

Used mechanisms from these models to influence design for this nespresso holder.
