Summary
I have the original Danish PENGEPOSTKASSE (piggy bank), but the key was missing. So one thing lead to another. First I made the key for the original tin box. And then i thought for myself, why not make the hole thing. So I did…
I have made two options.
Mail box housing is in one piece. 12+ hours print time and difficult support removal.
Mail box housing is in three pieces for faster print time and easy clean up. Just add glue.
Both options needs a 2mm drill to clean out the joints and a piece of 1.75mm fillament or what ever you have laying about.
The lock mechanism needs some kind of spring or small tubing to create the spring effect.
and maybe you need to make a small cut on the lock pin. (see pictures)
Made a lock pin V2, with the cut, if it does not work.!? print V1 and make your own damn cut.
Have fun. I did!

This is just some pictures of how I put it all together
Here we go.
All pieces and tools I used
Drill here (both sides) 2mm. Slowly or it will melt or break.
And here (both sides) 2mm. This time go really fast and see what happens….????
1.75mm filament i used ABS but PLA is just fine
Squish it flat, in one end, and push it in, to make it stick… or add glue.
The lock box (small rubber tubing as spring)
This did not work…. I used my hot glue gun instead.
Out of focus and in wrong orientation (weeeeeeee)

Touched up the letters with a white whiteboard pen (black glass)
