Resolution Coin Funnel

Challenge page found here: https://grabcad.com/challenges/make-the-unmakeable-challenge-1 I'm excited about this challenge (series) and within the first hour of reading about it various ideas have come to mind brainstorming with my girlfriend. This was created around one of the first & simpler ideas that arose, so... Who doesn't want to save a little money? That's why many might select that for a New Year's resolution. While that could be accomplished in a lot of different ways, this 3D-printable version of a commonly recognized coin funnel provides a fun & visual way for people to easily save their quarters & other spare change. (We've been collecting ours for awhile now but a drop in a jar or even a 5-gallon jug is nothing exciting (until it's emptied). As many of us are visual creatures, this change saver can help show over time just how easily those extra cents can accumulate, whether for groceries, gas, an extra-special night out or your beer fund. :) And the simple joy of watching the coin spin round and down might be the little bit of incentive to keep filling it up. There are two drop-in points for the coins so they can funnel in opposing directions. The base of this coin funnel can hold about $100 worth of quarters. Modifications could also be done to make this adaptable to various receiving collectors depending on how much one wanted to aim to save each month or year... I'm currently designing this to be a four-piece solution that will altogether fit within the specified print volume, though the pieces could of course be scaled up to each fill their own print space for an even larger final assembly. (Scaling down using the same parabolic curve can be accomplished as well.) If there's enough interest in this idea I'll develop it more. Let me know what you think in the comments or just give me a "like".
