I have access to a CNC so I have been learning/playing. Saw this candy dispenser and just had to try one. Cut the parts out of an MDF sheet. When clamped I noticed the gear did not spin freely as it is the same thickness as the spacer behind it. A couple of paper shims above/below the spacer and voila, it worked just fine. Sealed the MDF with shellac but the paint still did not take evenly. Those MDF edges just sucked up the finish. Should have used a primer on the edges. Oh well, all part of the learning curve. Next one will be walnut/maple, cherry/walnut or ??? Just having fun. Thanks for looking.
