Zauber Spardose - sorting money box

thingiverse

My kids required a new money box and all "ready to print designs" I discovered didn't match our needs or weren't designed for €-coins, so I created a brand-new, one-of-a-kind model...\r\n\r\nThe box consists of 8 distinct levels, one for each coin type, a bottom level for bills, and the cover at the top with two slots and names on it. When assembled in the correct order, the box features a sorting capability. Due to the varied holes, each coin type is collected in its designated level. To sort the coins, simply create some noise by shaking the entire box ;)\r\n\r\nFor easy assembly by the kids, a number is printed on every level next to the value. Diameter and value are not in the same ascending order. The top and bottom levels are additionally printed with unique texts.\r\n\r\nThe completely assembled box is quite large, approximately like an one-liter PET-bottle with 125mm diameter. In exchange for that size, it stores a lot of coins inside; my first test revealed more than 100€ could be stored.\r\n\r\nFor a smart counting method, use the weight and the attached Excel sheet. Simply place the full and empty level on a scale and enter the weights.\r\n\r\nI printed some levels in PLA and others in PETG, which makes no difference at all. If you want to print it, I can share the cover without names or with custom names; just message me.
