Maneki neko money cat Big Bank by SonnyDR Thingiverse

This is a remix of the Money Cat created by bs3

UPDATE 11/8/18: I remade the bank and added a plug in the bottom so you don’t have to break the bank to open it. Also the walls are thinner (but still strong) and uses much less plastic to print. If the plug is too tight, you can print it at 99% – that will depend on the tolerance of your 3D printer. (More pictures added also)

My daughter really loved the regular design but kept shoving dollars into the bottom and many didn’t fit, so she had a fit (she is 3 years old)

I decided to take the money cat and make it bigger, seal the bottom and add a slit on the back of the head to add dollars.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
