Download Free 3D Model Tanuki Trinket Tray v1 (Small) 3D Print Model

Summary
Too many people said that the last Thing looked too much like Hello Kitty, or a cat, not a raccoon. Cute…but not a raccoon. Here’s a link to that Thing:

That was also a remix of a cute little bowl.
This Thing is based on a raccoon, a specific picture of a raccoon, which is shown in the pictures. I’m learning to improve my seeing and drawing skills – getting perspective, distances, whitespace, and lines correct. Part of the design process is “seeing” things correctly, so you can get the proportions correct.
Funny enough, I didn’t do a very good job measuring what a bowl, even a small bowl, should be size-wise, so this is not a bowl – it’s a dish. I will be making a new version that will be a larger, cat-food (or raccoon-food!) bowl. I’ll also be making another version of the larger bowl with “wings” that will secure the bowl to my back porch railing, so the raccoons may eat the food, but not steal the bowl.
If you’d like to see a new, different, tweaked version, please let me know in the comments!

I haven’t printed this yet, but there are no overhangs, so it should just print. I will share pictures of the printed Thing once it has finished printing!
Post-Printing
As with any 3D printed object, you may need to clean out the inside of the bowl. Sandpaper?
How I Designed This
I designed this Tanuki Trinket Tray from scratch, using Fusion 360, clean-up in Netfabb 2017, and sliced for printing using Simplify3D. As reference, I used a picture of a raccoon, a bowl I had laying around, and my digital calipers. Reference Raccoon
