Single use 3D print "piggy bank"

[gernreich]

I printed this bowl with four peaks and noticed hollows mid print, so I paused the print and added some change then finished the print

single use as in ad coins and break incase of emergency or you added a coin and its sealed in ?

So I’ve been rather creative, to say the least, with my gift-wrapping for my nephew ever since he’s been old enough to open his own gifts. He’s 16 now, and for the past few years, it’s been getting rather difficult to keep stepping up my gift-wrapping game.

Cool! Might do that. (I was thinking about printing in PETG, but then no one would be able to open it)

True dat!

There is that rubbery filliment now that would work

[nunzioc]

Soooo cool! Now make one with a metal 3d printer

I wish! Aren’t they around 1/4 million USD?

There’s some around $100k. I’ll go dig around the couch for some change.
