Train Piggy Bank Plug (fusion360)

Remix Info:

I designed a little plug that fits the hole in the bottom of the model to block small coins from escaping

Summary:

A small plug to close the bottom of the piggy bank to allow storage of smaller coins.

Model Description:

I really liked the base model but the hole in the bottom was too big to block small European coins from escaping so I mad this small plug for it.

This model requires the base model's parts to be useful.

Printing information:

• Print the plug on its biggest flat suface (the model is already oriented correctly in the files except in the .f3d)
• Use Regular supports to support the overhangs, allow supports on the model itself

The model is voluntarily a tight fit as I didn't want to alter the main body's geometry but didn't want to allow the plug to become loose by itself either. Make sure to clean the mating faces well.

Note that, to fit all the European coins, you need to scale the whole train and this plug to 150%. Otherwise, the 1e euro coin will already be tricky to remove, for example.

Note as well that the plug isn't symmetric due to the base model, it will only work in one direction.

Please refer to the base models for more information.
