Sir Pigglesby (a most noble piggy bank)

pinshape

Sir Pigglesby is a multi-part 3D printable piggy bank with a threaded stopper - he's about 25cm long fully assembled. The colours chosen and the painting of Sir Pigglesby are simply my recommendations, but can be changed as wished. All of Sir Pigglesby was printed on a Prusa i3. As is the tradition with my other fantasy models, Sir Pigglesby has a little backstory: "Sir Pigglesby is a brave knight who serves in the army of the Sun. He wears a magic belt given to him by a Moon princess in thanks for joining her on a quest to rescue her parents from an army of Trolls. The belt (which bears the crescent insignia of the Moon Kingdom) enables Sir Pigglesby to carry an infinite number of objects without being hampered by bulk or weight. Only the chosen wearer can release the objects, and as he is a noble, honest and loyal pig, he is in great demand to transport valuable items on the most dangerous missions." There's quite a real-life story attached to the creation of Sir Pigglesby. I've not been around much this year or last due to professional commitments for part of 2016, helping my Louisiana family recover from a devastating flood and caring for a close family member with a serious illness. Due to these personal commitments, I haven't taken on any new commissions. However, to keep up artistic skills and spirits, I designed Sir Pigglesby - a friendly and brave piggy who would make anyone smile even on the worst days. I imagine him as a merry little fellow who would protect those close to him no matter the danger. I give you Sir Pigglesby, and I hope you enjoy printing him as much as I did designing him.

If a coin can't get through that, it's too big for Sir Pigglesby! Please also see https://pinshape.com/items/349...
