Nutcracker Bank

thingiverse

This thing was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/5LOzNQ3t13k. For this project, the original design is from Dream 3D Christmas Nutcracker by Dream3D_UK D. Show appreciation for the original design and like it if you enjoy it. Thank you to Dream3D for creating it. Trying to make a bank using Cura without fill, I got an interesting result. The model itself is great but might not be perfect for this process. At x1 file size (purple pictures), there were stringer spots and the cap top had rough areas...see pictures. This method produces very light models, yet it still took 24 hours to print. I even had to cut out the top hole and bottom plug, despite the fact that they printed the outline for them - they came out capped closed. The project was very engaging and offers a simpler way to make a bank with the right model. I've included the standard quick fit plug, key, storage box, and tea light plug to match Samyo (30 mm diameter x 25 mm) tea lights found at Amazon. I doubled the x and Y dimensions of the original model in my files to provide room for coins to pass into and through the bank. If the top of the cap is too rough or has holes, a fix would be to print just the top of the cap and glue it over the cap like I did for a x.5 print in yellow picture. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know. Thank you for taking a look at this project. Enjoy!
