(case not included, yet) I made this for a relative who had a rhino awareness day at their workplace, raising money for charities which help to defend rhinos against poaching. It is based on the Rhino model that Yahoo JP uploaded - credit for the sculpting goes to them only! It is hollowed out and a channel is added underneath for money to fall into a box it is mounted upon (although it doesn't need a box to function). The hole in the top is made to fit UK coins with room to spare. I suggest that if you use this thing, and you are not in Britain, you find out the largest diameter and thickness among your country's coinage. Measurements for the hole are below. If anyone knows how to print supports in Cura so that they are not so difficult to remove, please tell me! These measurements were taken from Blender Length (backside to front of nose): 171.403 mm Width (left side to right side): 62.840 mm Height (soles of feet to hump on back): 97.329 mm Hole length: 36.16 mm Hole width: 3.42 mm Of course, you can scale it in your slicer or in Blender. As per CC-BY, please attribute YahooJAPAN and myself if you redistribute or make derivatives of this thing. Despite the fact that synthetic ivory and keratin can be made, rhinos and elephants are still poached on a massive, brutal, and organised scale by criminal gangs with vast resources; fueled by demand from all over the world, from people who believe that rhino horn and elephant tusk has specific healing and aphrodisiac properties, and who adore its beauty when carved and polished. It is a valuable status symbol (but contributes no positive value to any society), in the same way that luxury cars and big houses are status symbols in the Western world. If you would like to support the fight against rhino and elephant poaching, please get informed and spread the word: Most of the people who buy into the market don't know the consequences. Abhor rhino horn and elephant tusk products. Appeal to your political leaders for action to disrupt the markets which back poaching. If you would like to offer financial support, three charities/non-profits I'd suggest (of course, there are many more) are: Kariega - South African game reserve which has been affected by rhino poaching, and has set up a foundation dedicated to rhino conservation. David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust - Elephant and rhino rescue and rehabilitation program in East Africa (based in Kenya). See also: Rhino economics - A suggested alternative approach to disrupting the markets backing this poaching. The two sides are printed together and subsequently glued together. It was made to be fixed to a base (wooden or otherwise) which may also have a case inside in order to fit more money. If you do not affix it to a base, and it is filled with money, the center of mass may be high once filled, and it will easily fall over. Also mind the hole in the bottom. The print needs to be high quality if it is going to be displayed in a public place. As a result, the print may take many hours to do (mine took about 6 or 7 hours per side on an Ultimaker). "High quality" means slow down your print move speed substantially from its default. You should also make the layers thin. But it should be safe to lower the density of internal and external supports substantially. If you are unsatisfied with the quality after an hour or two, you should cancel your print prematurely to save time. Also, a raft or heated bed is essential - the parts need to fit together, and warping is not acceptable unless you want to use some sort of filler.
