Hello Diy, I need your help in making a design. I need to build a prototype model for a coffee machine of my own design. I want to make my design stnsd out from the class by making a mechanism which loads a new shell in and ejects the used shell into the waste grill. The idea for the mechanism in my head was kind of like a shotgun .

Pic related is my original design. The teacher just told me that my design and mechanism is basic.

You know that cheating in education is cheating yourself, right? I would assume that the point of the project is to teach you how to translate vague ideas into buildable schematics and then get a practical understanding of building to those schematics. So get to it.

I'm a total gun novice but I can't see how the lever for the next shell is getting triggered to load in?

And your sketches aren't giving me a great insight into how you plan for the mechanism to function either.
I'll be honest, sometimes the simplest way is the best. My machine just drops the used one into its bucket thing, and I put a new one in the top. Gravity, man.
Do love that your teacher called it "basic" though.

Sorry not prototype. I meant presentation model. I already got the first dedign approved but i want to go above and beyond
Im on 2 percent so ill be afk for a while

A spring, which is overcome by the stronger spring driving the bolt.

So what are you looking for here, then? Some way to make a blowback-operated coffee machine? Protip: Given the lack of blowback from conventional coffee brewing, you'll need a different power source.
Good news everyone i got my mechanism approved, think of slotmachines. Do youblbguys have any improvements i could make? Thanks
