Cut a hole in the center of the lid large enough to seat the funnel firmly.
(option - remove the lid and just let the funnel rest in the mouth of the jar)
EPOXY COIN LAUNCH TO FUNNEL
Using JB Weld, epoxy the 3D printed coin launch/ramp to the edge of the funnel.
Make sure coin exit from ramp is parallel and below the rim of the funnel.
GLUE FUNNEL TO LID
Fix the funnel to the jar lid with the hot glue gun.
