Casino Pocket Bank

Casino Pocket Bank.

Ever been to a casino and felt tempted to dip into your winnings? Want to make sure some of the money you put away to take home actually gets there? This thing is for you.

Assembled with two small screws, the Casino Money Bank has a slot for putting bills/chips/tickets in but needs tools to get out. The idea is you can safeguard money from momentary lapses in judgement by securing it in this pocket bank, assured that your money will be safe until you get out of the casino. Sure, there may be a screwdriver in the car, but by the time you walk out of the casino and back to the car you should have had some time to think about it, do you really want to give this money back? This thing is meant to buy you time before deciding to spend your winnings and help you segregate monies you meant to take home.

Note: You will not need both the Rubber Stopper Backer and the Comb Stopper, you may choose one or the other, or neither. It works OK without a stopper, though the plunger may not stay in, but the stopper gives it an added edge of security against accidentally losing a chip or having a bill or ticket placed inside work its way out.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

PowerSpec

Printer: 

Duplicator I3 PLUS

Rafts:

No

Supports: 

Yes

Resolution:

I don't care about lines, .2mm should work great.

Infill: 

10% Oclet

Notes: 

I print in rough resolution because for most things it doesn't matter and the time savings are enormous. YMMV, but .4mm makes this whole thing print in under 5 hours and it works OK in my printer, for a final version or one I was going to give as a gift I would probably print at .2mm, it looks nicer.

Post-Printing

Attaching the Comb or Rubber Stopper Backer:

The comb portion might print in place well, but it might not. I wasn't sure and didn't try it. Instead I printed it separately and then glued it in place. rnrnThe comb stopper is not necessary, but I like it because it prevents bills/chips from being fished out. Attach as follows:rnrnIf you use ABS, this should be a simple process, a bit of ABS Glue and you will have a fused part.rnrnIf using PLA or PETG and you have a 3D pen, it should be a simple matter to weld it into place. Glue will also work fine.rnrnIf you opt to use the rubber stopper instead, print the Rubber Stopper Backer and then cut a piece of thin rubber (ie. innertube material or something else thin with memory) the same size as the Rubber Stopper Backer, then cut a slit even in the middle of the access slot to insert bills/chips. Sandwich the rubber between the Body and the Backer and attach the Backer per instructions above.

Assembly:

Find two screws that will self-tap the holes, wood screws should work, these can be bought at any hardware store. Make sure you don't get them too long. rnrnSlide the top into the body and hold securely while inserting the screws through the supplied holes. Insert the plunger through the slot and you should be golden.

This entire project was designed with basic shapes in Tinkercad on an Android tablet. It's amazing what can be done with basic tools. rnrnThanks Autodesk.
