Foldable Piggy Bank

2019 is the year of pigs in Asia. So we designed a foldable piggy bank.
The piggy bank should have a lot of internal space. So we applied the structure that was used in the previous foldable snowman. The foldable snowman also needed space to accommodate candy or chocolate inside. Here, unlike the existing piggy bank, the legs are made to move. For this purpose, the shape that is divided is complicated.
When you have filled up your coins, you can rotate your hips for easy access.

In most cases it is okay, but folding the pigs can break them, so use a hair dryer or heat gun to soften them before folding.
If there is a part where the folding is falling off, you can use adhesive.

    Hi!

    I want to buy this model because my girlfriend is inlove of it, however, recently i have print the AT-AT model on my Ender 5 S1 and the result was terrible because the "hinges" were very hard and broke when I wanted to use them . Do you have a setting recomendation for this model of printer? I ask it because (in my opinion) it will be the same situation whit this piggy and other models

    Thank you

    Can this be successfully scaled to say, 80% to save time?

    Yes. You can print it at 80%.

    This one was a disappointment. Print looked great on the bed, but fell apart once it was removed. The "hinges" at the neck and rear are way to thin to survive even a single bend. The leg joints are very fragile as well.

    To sum up your story, it seems that the discharge amount of filament is insufficient.
    If the filament discharge amount is insufficient, the hinge is easy to break and the moving parts are loose.
    Please increase material flow(cura)/extrusion multiplier(simplify 3D).
    This design has been printed by many people and is one of the very easy designs. You can see succeed story from review.
    We hope you print successfully.
    Thank you~

    Thank you~
    We use mainly Simplify 3D. The reason we use S3D is because we can get the overall quality of all the printers. And because each printer has a different slicing software, we can not use all of these slicers.

    But if you use Prusa, you do not have to worry. That's because the 3D printer has good output. If you want good quality, use 0.1mm layer even if it takes a long time.
