Customizable Coin Trap

thingiverse

The customizable coin trap allows users to collect coins of any size and origin. For those who lost a bet, this trophy bank offers a chance to pay back with a useless coin. Conversely, winners can display their profits in style. The item is also perfect for small gifts, stocking stuffers or as a first 3D print project. The customizer comes pre-loaded with standard sizes for major US coins and the top ten global currencies, but allows manual input of other dimensions. An STL file encompasses the entire US cointrap set. For MakerHome Day 96 instructions, visit http://makerhome.blogspot.com/2013/12/day-96-customizable-coin-traps.html. Printing at a .2mm layer height is recommended, with coins inserted halfway through the process. Ensure coins do not extend into the nozzle area to avoid damage to your machine. Pausing during printing for coin insertion is safer.
