Terramundi Money Pot

Terramundi money pots have been traditionally used in Italy for over 2000 years and their design has remained unchanged. The British Museum houses examples of these ancient money pots.   Once the first coin is dropped the money pot must be fed until full upon which time it must be smashed whilst making a wish. It is customary to replace the pot and spend the money on 'good things', they bring good fortune. This file was inspired by the aesthetic ceramic Terramundi pot so I made a model using Solidworks to make a 3D printable version. This model was printed in PLA using a Makerbot Replicator 2, I wouldnt recommend printing it in ABS as it would likely warp due to the size. I've designed the inside of the money pot to curve at at a shallow enough angle that it will print completely support free
