okay not sure if this is the best place for this thread but put it here anyway 
basically set a target of making a reasonable capacity pod loader that used a spring mechanism of some sort to allow a simple one handed operation. result is this:
basically all materials used were
large size plastic plantpot
football training cone
plastic L shape moulding (not neccessary now i thought of an even better design)
rubber bands
expanding foam
duct tape
assorted wood, most importantly thin sheet wood approx 200mm x 100mm x 5mm
some tools needed are electric drill, screwdriver, jigsaw, hammer, screws/tacs
if you're wondering about support, it has small legs that allow it to be placed down without risk of toppling, but ideally if this can be hung up it keeps the size to the minimum, as it is already big enough without a giant base being added to allow it to go on a table or whatever
This size of pot gives a capacity of about 2500-3000, however too small a pot will result in the sliding mechanism being hard to securely attach to the bottom of the pot.
