Make it float challenge
How many coins ? My goal is for R100 in R2 coins that's enough to buy 2 Pizza's
Concept is a hexagon shaped platform with pylons like an oil rig, this was inspired by seeing the PetroSA rig in Mossel Bay, thought hey rigs are stable and carry a huge load.
To add to the use I decided to create the challenge into a money box for kids to save, maybe when you sink the ship you can get the treasure. Printing the pylons in transparent should provide some motivation to save.
I have tried to prepare the cad file so it can be used with the customizer, make sure you give enough clearance for your local coin size.
Problems: PLA does not make a water tight vessel I only had clear PLA so the pylons are printed in ABS. You will need to clean up the locks on the prints. Acetone can be used to weld the ABS and seal the pylons.
