Ultimate Shaving Bowl with 11x 5 cent coins as weight (Euro cents)

thingiverse

I was worried the bowl might be a little top heavy so I added some extra weight in mine in the flat bottom base of the bowl. BI made room for eleven 5 Euro-cent coins which need to be inserted by hand after the slot walls were printed and before the covering layer. I used a filament change GCode command in my slicer to pause the printer at the layer where the coin spaces are covered and inserted one coin into each of the spaces and continued the print (in a different color to accent the base, if that's your thing). Worked fine on my printer, no rattling and the coins got integrated into the bowl seamlessly. It might work with other coins of similar or smaller dimensions, the holes are 22 mm in diameter and 2.2 mm high. I'm honestly not really sure if this was worth the extra effort and cost but it was good modelling practice for me. I also have a bunch of spare change lying around which I'll probably never spend. I feel the coins do add some additional weight but i doubt that it's much more than a bit higher infill or that this was even necessary in the first place since the shape seems quite steady. You're free to give it a spin though and I'm very happy with how the printed bowl turned out now that it's done. Many thanks to ljblkthe, the original creator of this great bowl. I love your design, the bowl works perfectly and lathers up very quickly :)
