Salt/Pepper Pig
Description
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!!!
There's now a V3 of the pig! no more toes lol, and the feet have holes in them so that you can push sugru in and it'll hold really well :-)
This little piggie's famous!

You may need to drill out the holes in the nose in order for salt to pour :-)

I Makerbotted your pigs.... tough build if you make it huge but nice...
Cute! Thanks for the model :-) I printed this full size, and for some reason the top half came out all funky. It just sort of disintegrated above the snout. Then I made is scaled down to .6 and it came out great. I'll add pics later. Would love to hear others' thoughts on how to make the larger scale work; what I might have done wrong. I am new to my Thing-o-matic, so I may not have the settings right.
Im a bit concerned that the first layer of the hole in its belly is off the ground, but I'm going to try printing it. I'll get back to you
I printed it at about 75% of the original size today and it worked fine. I'll try it full size soon
Thanks a ton for testing this!!! if needed, I can modify the design a bit so that everything at the bottom touches the ground... It's a bit blocky since i'm using Autodesk Inventor, which is much better suited to industrial design than organic forms...
