Mini Piggy with Shiny Cent – Decoration & Lucky Charm

This little piggy is a decorative 3D printing project that stylishly showcases a 1-cent coin. Ideal as a lucky charm, gift, or cute desk buddy!
The coin is inserted in the middle and should shine brightly, while the pig is intentionally printed matte and dark – creating a beautiful contrast.

✨ Tips for a shiny cent effect

  1. Pig matte – Coin shiny:
    It is best to print the pig in matte PLA (e.g., black or anthracite). This makes the real coin stand out visually extremely well.
  2. If you print the coin (optional):
    • Use Silk/Glossy PLA in copper or gold
    • Either print two-color (filament change at 1–2 mm)
    • Or use an MMU/IDEX for automatic color separation
  3. Perfect look of the coin surface:
    • Print top layer slowly (15–20 mm/s)
    • High wall count (4–5) ensures clearer contours
    • Activate ironing for a mirror-smooth surface
  4. If you insert the real coin:

    • Slight chamfering of the edge in the model helps with insertion
    • You can fix the coin with a drop of glue
    • For maximum shine, treat it with metal polish beforehand
