Drink Tray Elevator Block

The 10 pack of soft drinks and soda is supposed to dispense from the front and the next can rolls to the front ready. This doesn't work on a flat surface, so made these blocks to raise the rear of the box to allow the dispensing to work better. This is scaled for metric 375ml cans, but make work for other sizes. The blocks are 30mm, (an inch tall). I found others do not use the original box, but i did not want to unload them all.
Print both sides as they are symmetrical.

<p>This fits those 8g CO2 cartridges used in soda siphons and probably those nitrous oxide ones used in cream whippers if they are also 18mm in diameter.</p>

<p>Note that this model has a hole size of 20mm although the cartridges are only 18mm in diameter. This is to compensate the shrinkage I experienced with PLA when printing that model.</p>
