Sand Silo for Sandbox

thingiverse

This sand silo is a fun addition to your nephews' sandbox. To use it, first remove the lid and fill the silo with sand. Position a toy car beneath the silo and slide the lever to the open position. For the silo construction, you will need to print the cylindrical part twice and assemble four round beechwood legs (10mm diameter, 200mm length) for stability. If needed, add diagonal strings through small drilled holes in each leg to increase shear stiffness. As an extra feature, there's a simple locomotive and car design that requires axles made from round beechwood (6mm diameter, 50mm length). The model "SandSilo_Locomotive.pk2" is editable in Creo Express if you wish to customize it further. Enjoy!
