Pig - Version 3 : PiggyBank#2

prusaprinters

<p>This is Version 3 of four pig prints as follows:</p> <ul> <li>V1 : plain pig</li> <li>V2 : piggy bank #1 with slot only</li> <li>V3 : piggy bank #2 with slot and bottom opening</li> <li>V4 : Matryoshka pig(s)</li> </ul> <p>All versions use the same basic design, with some significant variations. Since there are so many different prints involved, with differing print requirements I thought it best to provide the prints as four separate entries.</p> <p>This version has a "plug" (removable feet) to allow coins to be removed without breaking it open.</p> <p>This piggy-bank version was initially printed at 50% scale (yellow in the photos) as a proof of concept; of course the slot on the 50% version is too small for most coins.</p> <p>A full size version (brown in the photos) printed nicely, although it took about 10 hours.</p> <p>The OnShape 3D CAD files for this are here:</p> <p><a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4b18587141f46c17c7caaeb8/w/71873948501e318dfeaa530c/e/f8a92f44013a2b170ed90852">https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4b18587141f46c17c7caaeb8/w/71873948501e318dfeaa530c/e/f8a92f44013a2b170ed90852</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Print in PLA using the 3mf file provided. Otherwise:</p> <ul> <li>infill = 5% rectilinear</li> <li>perimeters = 3</li> <li>variable layer height (optional but recommended for the chin and top of the back)</li> </ul> <p>As noted in the description I printed this at 50% scale. This version prints "feet down" with no problems, but does require supports under the chin. I used a support enforcer for this. I do not recommend using "support on build plate only" as I found the supports very difficult and time consuming to remove.</p>
