Exploding Piggy Bank
Description
I Have Not Yet Printed This. Theoretically, You Should Be Able To Put A Standard Spring And Latch Mouse Trap Inside The Base, Then Assemble All The Parts (Gluing The Face And Feet Onto The Body, But Leaving The Base And Body Free To Separate). The Coin Slot Lines Up With The Trigger Of The Mouse Trap, So When Someone Drops In A Coin, The Whole Piggy Bank Should Blow Apart. Note: I Don'T Know How Much Variability There Is To Mouse Trap Dimensions. I Used A Victor Mouse Trap For Reference. The Rectangular Base Of The Mouse Trap Measures 3 7/8 X 1 13/16 X 3/16" I Don'T See Why It Shouldn'T Work, I Just Haven'T Gotten Around To Printing It Yet. I Built In .5Mm Supports For The Face Recess, So Print It Without Supports And Trim Off The Fins. Glue The Face To The Body And The Feet (Print Four) To The Base. Whatever Adhesive You Use Needs To Create A Killer Bond Since This Thing Will Be Subject To A Lot Of Force. I'Ve Included The Sketchup Model For Anyone Who Wants To Play With It. The Face Is An Approximate Remodel Of Ryguy'S 8-Bit Piggy Bank (Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:16474), I Just Added A Smiley Mouth.
