Canadian Loonie Shopping Cart Coin

thingiverse

Canada is a nation of contradictions. We're among the world's leading cashless societies, yet our shopping carts stubbornly demand cash. This ironic fact inspired me to create a basic shopping cart coin that perfectly captures the essence of the Canadian Loonie, the official one-dollar coin. With its precise dimensions and clean design, this print is a testament to simplicity. There are no unnecessary tabs or embellishments - just pure functionality. I designed it to be used at 100% fill, with a line width of .1mm and a speed of 40mm/s, making it a quick print that takes just 12 minutes to complete. The reason for this design is rooted in the shopping carts found in Western Canada, where a small chain lock requires you to push a coin into its slot, securing it in place while keeping the cart locked. Only a standard one-dollar coin will fit snugly into this mechanism, making it an essential item for any Canadian shopper.
