Here's a model I made of a cup dispenser for the small plastic cups used at many congregations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Print it in the orientation shown below, with as fine of layer lines as you can manage, and/or use adaptive layer height. Use a raft unless your printer is calibrated magically. This version is optimized for printing, use 4 or 6 wall layers. the thicker it is the better. You should not need any supports.
To use, fill with a stack of cups, upright, and squeeze fully to drop one cup from the dispenser. Hold the cylinder in your hand, and pull the frame toward you. this will drop the cup straight down. Works Good, Saves Time.
