The file 'Trading Card Dispenser 3D Printer Model' is (stl,pdf) file type, size is 1.4MB.
This is my design for a remote controlled trading card dispenser.
The idea came that I could have a go at designing one myself after seeing one over on Astromech.net. I had previously seen one a few years earlier, made by a good friend and fellow builder Mike Flip [UK R2D2 Builders Club].
After 3 months or so & quite a few evolution's & different designs, this is the final one. The idea was for it to be fitted into our Astromech droids, and dispense our trading cards to event attendee's. I've also designed a holder so that once in place, this box can be easily removed and re-filled and re-installed without having to worry about re-alignment.
I simply custom assembled a 'control box'. This combines a mini 360 voltage regulator, a time delay relay switch and a remote control unit.
This link (copy and paste if needed) will show you my Blog post regarding the electronics:

There's a video link below showing in action and also a PDF assembly instruction sheet containing bought components list, to help with print orientation and assembly.
This is for the dispenser itself, not the control box.
