Replacement plug for piggy bank, printed in BBL TPU 95A HF. My 3-year-old son has a piggy bank (in this case, a "lion bank") filled with coins, which he loves to take out and feed back in. After many rounds of play, the original plastic plug weakened, became brittle, and eventually broke. To replace it, I designed a flexible, durable plug using TPU that fits tightly yet allows for easy removal. The dimensions are 35mm for the “lip-ring” that gets pushed through the piggy bank slot, 30mm for the middle disk area that is seated in the slot and a 37.5mm top-lip, to prevent or at least making it more difficult to push the entire plug into the piggybank (which happened with the old one a lot).I've also included the Fusion 360 file for anyone who wants to modify the model or dimensions to their needs. My design includes a “print it first” custom-fit ring for providing overhang support for printing the plug's “upper lip”, because I did not want to use generic support generatio
