I needed a place to put my spare change and I figured since I had a replicator I could just print something. So I went looking for a piggy bank but I couldn't find models I liked. That's when I decided that I would make my own. 
The Maltese Falcon is one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite movie props. That made it a “no brainer.” 

I found a good model, found a YouTube tutorial, and followed along. I used this as a learning experience as I have only just barely scratched the surface of Fusion 360. 

The original plug was way too tight so I had to scale it down. It should be fixed in this upload. The plug should print in place, but I printed it separate just in case. Also, my model fell over before it was finished so I had to print a second skull cap and glue it on. That's why my model looks like it has a toupee'. 

Finally, I suggest using supports for the tail feathers and maybe the beak. If you use auto supports it will fill the inside to support the top. When I reprinted the top to finish mine I didn't need supports for it.
