Guiro Money Frog

Was looking for the percussion frog (Guiro) and found some models here, but wanted the classic look that printed as one piece and sounded like the carved wooden figures we've seen on vacations. Nothing on Makerworld met that need, so I found this model on Thingiverse. After several prints and and adjustments to the fill and hollow, I ended up with a combined elliptical and cubic shaped interior hollow with a modifier cube that forces a solid filled base. with this combination, I think I have a very good sounding guiro frog. The stick is printed with 20 outside walls to make it a solid fill as well.

 

Hold the frog by back feet on the bottom, and gently drag the thick part of the stick up the back bumps to produce a pleasant frog croaking noise. 

 

I have printed on my A1 eight times at 100% and 150% without supports with no issues, so you can ignore the floating cantilever warning.

The 150% produces a great bass frog sound. 

 

BIG UPDATE (2025-01-30): 

Based on the repeated feedback that the frogs and sticks was failing for others, I have added supports and increased the brim. It added some filament waste and increased print time a bit, but these increases are minimal to the frustration and waisted filament of failed prints. I apologize to those that have printed and failed. I also made a larger stick for the small frog, with the same diameter head portion as the large frog stick, because the large stick sounds better
