Summary

Adjustable version of the ljhtom beer/soda can dispenser. Uses threaded connectors to allow adjustment to different can heights.
Should work with ~110mm to ~160mm tall cans.

This version has 4 pieces for printing on smaller bed (200mm x 200mm).
Print 4 pieces and 4 connectors.
You may or may not need a brim for connectors depending on your bed adhesion.
To assemble, glue front and back of each half together. Screw connectors into both dispenser halves simultaneously. Be sure connector is oriented correctly (threads are reversed for each half).

If connectors are too snug or loose, you can scale the x and y slightly to compensate but be sure NOT to scale in z direction so thread pitch does not change. I suggest printing a test connector (or partial) first to check fit.
