Axolotl Box Bank

Write a review

$7.00 $4.20

If you're looking for a unique bank for that special little one, you can't get much more unique than an Axolotl!

This bank only takes a single sheet of 1/4" material and a 4.5" square of 1/8" acrylic, so it's very inexpensive to make and your friends, family, and customers will love it!

The bank box portion can hold a surprising number of coins (over 1500 pennies!) as well as paper money too. The slot in the top is large, making it easy to empty the bank out of the slot when needed, but the file also includes an optional sliding door for the back of the bank as well.

Project Details

 

NOTES:

  • The file is made for 1/4" material. The tabs and open slots in the file are 0.25".
  • Read the included Info Sheet for more info and a 3d assembly view
  • The file includes an optional sliding door back!
  • The entire bank (not including the optional sliding back door) can be made from a single 11" x 19" sheet of 1/4" MDF!
  • You can customize the bank by adding a monogram letter to the front or even a cut out name! These are our favorite options since they can be added after the bank is assembled.
  • We've also seen people engrave on the clear acrylic and that looks great! Just remember to engrave backwards on the "back" of the acrylic so that it's nice and smooth when viewed from the front.
