I designed this money box a while ago and never really got round to doing anything with it….until now! Seeing the FormLabs contest gave me the motivation I needed to sort this money box out and get it on to instructables. So, why do I deserve a 3D printer? Well, to quote Howard Stark; “I am limited by the technology of my time.” Well, the stuff I have access to anyway… A 3D printer would allow me to take my designs to the next level, I could produce products which use a blend of different processes and techniques to really create something innovative. So if you like my instructable please vote 🙂
So lets begin; I’ve attached all CAD files for you guys to download so you can simply cut out your own parts, alternatively, if you cannot get access to a laser cutter, message me and I would be happy to cut and send you them to you for a small fee (covering materials and postage).
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
