A few modes for ya!

Insert no pennies = she'll float on the surface.
2 pennies = she floats and points down.
4-5 pennies = she stands up on the bottom.
7 pennies = she sinks and lays flat.
---Mix em' up to keep it fun! :)

Prints nicely, i would like to make a couple suggestions though #1 put the penny slots to be inserted from the inside of the circle to prevent centrifugal force from letting them fly out when tossing. #2 make a nickels version, Canada doesnt have pennies. Edit: i did manage to jam nickles in there, very tight fit, no worries of them slipping out

great idea on putting the slot holes facing inwards. Why the centrifugal forces didn’t dawn on me i do not know, but I fully agree. also, nickle version aye..

Awesome. So I printed this on my P1S with PLA. With the settings recommended. I am not used to have money always pay with card, could find one 2 cent and 5 cent (euros). The 2 cent would fit in, the 5 cent sticks half way in. But even with both coins inserted the ring is still floating. Should I try PETG?

@Snail

you’ll need to insert probably 4-5 coins to get it to sink. i have an update I need to do however thanks to some recent feedback to move the slots inside to eliminate problems with centrifugal forces and the coins coming out. thanks for the feedback!
