"There's always money in the banana stand."

Now you too can hint to your family member that "There's always money in the banana stand (click click)" with this banana stand piggy bank. This piggy bank is complete with trash barrel, A-frame sign, bananas, and the famous Bluth's Frozen Banana stand.

"I'm an ideas man Michael... I think I proved that with Bluth Banana Stand Piggy Bank".

This was a joint effort between me and my wife [Scintilla](http://www.thingiverse.com/Scintilla/designs/).

Yes, this is a fully functional 8-bit big money piggy bank! My 3yr old daughter need a safe place to keep all her high-stakes rock/paper/scissors winnings. She sat down with me in-front of a clean Sketchup session and we began to construct a piggy bank that Mario would approve of.

Check my screen shots, I uploaded a plethora of images including object dimensions.

I printed this in ~6hrs using no support on my Thing-O-Matic's ABP.

My RIG:
TOM # 4890
MK6+
1.75mm
.4 nozzle
ABP with aluminum plate topper and titanium belt covered in kapton

This is a 3d Printable pig, with a large void inside for salt or pepper, and holes in the pigs nostrils to pour.

I designed it on a whim, when I was getting ready to get my MakerBot.

However, The part did make it into the NYTimes!!! nytimes.com/2011/03/05/nyregion/05about.html !!!!!!!

Thanks so much to the people who printed this before I ever had a chance to!!!

UPDATE!!!

There is now a V2 of the pig, all files have been updated! The tail of the pig is now the filling plug!
UPDATE 2!!!
