The THS Kit Vending Machine is a project headed by Lauren Shannon, to convert her old cigarette machine to dispense kits and projects.

• The vending machine is limited to 990 yen per item, in increments of 10 yen. It does not include a bill acceptor.
• Items must fit within the size limitations of a cigarette box. Dims are 55mm x 86mm x 23mm
• Small or loose items should be packed within a pouch or ziplock bag within the box

- Origami box for the kits. Includes lots of THS imagery.

Project requires two groups: One group needs to think of projects, kits and other items (can be DIY art, parts grab bags, or completed items). The other group needs to redress the machine itself.

• Brainstorm items for boxes
• Acquire supplies, kits, etc (at least 10-20 per slot. We have 5 slots)
• Get boxing
• Pack boxes

• Measure dims of all major front and side pieces of the machine
• Do up some artwork to choose from
• Select the best (or a group of the best, and choose one to try first)
• Acquire paint and supplies
• paint it up
