Irish Pot of Gold

thingiverse

This handy little storage container is a decorative and functional piece that showcases the potential of 3D printing, featuring two built-in rotating handles in a single print. The pot measures approximately 57.5mm in diameter with a 30mm top opening, making it ideal for storing small items such as gold coins, rings, chains, stationery, nuts, bolts, and screws. It's a great gift idea for anyone of Irish descent. Two versions are provided: the 'sr' version features a Shamrock design, perfect for use during St. Patrick's Day celebrations, while the plain version is identical without the Shamrock feature. You can print it in your choice of color. When printing, it's essential to use a well-set up machine with a precise slicing app, as lesser apps or less accurate machines may struggle with printing the designed-in supports and handles. Automated support should not be used, but rather take advantage of the small amount of support designed into each handle for optimal results. The images provided showcase successful prints, with only a minimal amount of support required under each handle. This support can easily break away by hand or with a gentle touch from a craft knife, leaving the handles free to turn.
