Mario Question Block Coin Bank XL

thingiverse

A question block originally designed by Matt Sauer (Forehead) is a great design in itself and stays true to its 8-bit inspiration. Three adjustments were made: The question block was increased eight times in size, doubling the length for each axis. Question marks are separated from the rest of the cube to allow it to be printed with two materials or colors, which I chose as red for the box and white for the question marks. Coin-slot size is corrected for the largest Kuwaiti-currency coin (100 fils). This design was created by me as a gift for my eldest son's losing his first tooth :). Updated 25-09-2016: The box and lid were separated into several files for convenience. Box walls are made thinner without compromising structural integrity to save time and filament. Coin-hole size is corrected. Lid fitment is corrected. Platform of the lid is adjusted so that it doesn't string without supports. Print Settings Printer: BCN3D Sigma Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3mm Infill: 15%, straight lines Notes: Printed with e-Sun PLA (regular PLA), hot-end temperature at 215c, and bed at 60c. Use two parameters for shell settings. Cura-BCN3D V0.1.5-beta2 was used for slicing, which had limitations such as only having straight-line type infill. You can experiment with other types of course. Given the large contact surface of the box, it will be more prone to warping or lifting, and if not, be ready to take your time removing it without damaging the print-bed. Post-Printing Sanding the sides of the lid might be necessary for a snug fit on top of the box, but don't overdo it - it needs to fit snugly so that when flipped while full, the lid doesn't fall off.
