Description

A friend requested a globe bank for the coins he brings back from his trips abroad. He suggested using the great 'Textured Earth' from Bid as a starting point.

I upscaled the globe to ~178mm and hollowed it out, then added the coin slot on top.

I cut out a section of Antartica to create the coin door, and to make it fit back in, I borrowed the screw threads from Arciello.

I modified lard canoe's globe stand to fit the larger globe and contoured it to fit the bottom (only fits one way, nice and snug).

And finally I created a hex key to be able to remove and add the coin door.

This should print fine, a test print is underway. If you print it before I post results, and find that the coin door is too tight, downsize it in your slicer by 2% and reprint the coin door.

Update Jan 15th, 2022: By request I have added a version of the globe at 60% but has the same size coin slot and uses the same plug and key tool. This smaller version does not need the stand as it should stand on its own without issue.

 

Print instructions

Print Settings

Printer Brand: Creality
Printer: Ender 3
Rafts: No
Supports: Yes
Resolution: .12mm to .24mm
Infill: 20%
Filament: any PLA any
Notes:

Some supports are needed at 70% and above from the build plate only. But if you let the auto support setting do it it, it will add unnecessary supports inside from the build plate, these are not needed and can be removed in your slicer software before printing. Some slicers will miss a few places that should have supports in the lower quarter of the globe. Manually add supports as needed.

If your slicer supports variable layer heights, I recommend lowering the layer height to .12mm for the top 1/3rd of the globe to get much better results.
