A Pile of Coins (Japanese Yen)

thingiverse

I created this 3D printing design specifically for the Microfab event --> http://microfab.github.io. I made it because I'm driven by a strong desire for wealth, similar to Bilbo's experience in "The Hobbit" - a movie that recently captivated me. If the page at the link is hard to read due to its Japanese content, you might find it more enjoyable to browse through photos on the following social media pages --> https://twitter.com/108_FAB/media and https://www.facebook.com/Fabrica.community. In Japan's Buddhist culture, a special tradition unfolds on the final night of every year. At exactly the same time, bells are rung at temples across the nation to banish 108 human desires and vices - reminiscent of Christianity's seven deadly sins. For that event I initially mentioned, participants were empowered to create any design (apart from sexually explicit content and weapons) representing their desires or passions up to a total of 108 unique pieces. To enable remote control over the 3D printing process, two lab-based printers were networked via raspberry pis connected to Octoprint systems, granting users access to send and print their designs anywhere, anytime through an internet connection.
