Maybe a mechanical engineer could answer this with confidence...
Since one of the stated purposes is to "rotate" (FIFO) the stock of cans, if you use the 18-inch tall plexiglass front, what's the risk of damaging the cans when dropping them down?
If there's even approx. 1/8 inch left-to-right wiggle room, it seems a can lid edge can strike the side of another can near its lid edge. Can this unseal? If so, how visible would it be?

- neilv 3y agoI can look at that and guess, but I was thinking a mechanical engineer might be able to speak more about why, than my own intuition.
- taco-hands 3y agoOff the top of my head: Make the plexiglass removable (lift to remove/drop to fix in place) OR in a groove at the bottom, fasteners at the top. This would remove any issues with insertion drops and allow swaps. People can go rogue with any vending device - they all have flaws!
