Snoopy on Doghouse Bank

thingiverse

There is a TV commercial playing here in the U.S., by State Farm, that shows a woman talking to another woman about a suede couch that she says she "just had to have". Later in the commercial, two robbers break-in to steal the couch with one explaining, to the other one, that when he saw the suede couch, he "just had to have it!" I felt the same way when I first saw this model. Immediately, I said to myself, I have to print this! My second thought was, when I learned that it was 190mm high, this would make an awesome piggy bank. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. I created a plug for the bottom of the bank so that I wouldn't have to destroy this beautiful work of art to get the money out (and thus, making it reusable). The slot in the plug is designed for a penny (so you can twist it and it stays in place). I also added a piece of felt to the bottom to prevent it scratching/damaging any surfaces it was sitting on. I redesigned the roof, removing the front and back of the dog house and attached them to the base. I wanted a two color dog house (white/red), so splitting these pieces was necessary. I have only posted the parts that I changed: the base, roof, door, and plug. EDIT: Had a request to upload the doghouse without a door. I blocked off the door as requested.
