Soccer (football) Ball -Remix Bank

thingiverse

This thing was designed with Tinkercad and can be edited online at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/2EyMIUk2DtG The project utilizes an original model, a football, found on Thingiverse (thing:2773467) created by Rufian. Please show appreciation for the original design by liking it. Thanks to Rufian for sharing this model. I've had the model for some time and was struggling to figure out how to modify it into a bank. That's when I discovered the "twisted polygon" feature in Tinkercad, which provided the solution. Here is the result: a soccer ball-shaped bank with a built-in stand that doubles as a bank. Both the stand and the ball have a tea light plug if desired. The tea light used is from Amazon-Samyo, measuring 30mm in diameter by 25mm in height. The stand features all standard bank components, while the key serves two purposes: it unlocks both the standard plugs and the twisted plug on the ball. To remove or install the plug, simply turn the key around to slide it into the coin slot. The ball is hollow, making it suitable for printing with 3 walls and a 10% infill. The stand, being solid, should be printed at 2mm with additional wall layers and zero infill. Be prepared to cap and drill or cut out the coin slot and plug hole using filament cutters and file them smooth. The files are designed to fit an Ender2 printer. This project is listed as in-progress since I haven't printed it yet. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to let me know. Thank you for taking a look!
