Become a barrel maker! Print and assemble this cute wine barrel. The barrel serves as a savings box for coins. It is a bit like a piggy bank. If you eventually would like to access the coins, you most likely will have to cut the 3 rings and disassemble the barrel.
The wine barrel savings box makes a perfect gift.
The wine barrel really consists of 19 single planks which give the barrel a realistic look. The barrel is 10.0 cm (3.94 inches) high and 7.5 cm (2.95 inches) wide.
Please do not resize the model in your slicer, as the tolerances are designed for the present size.
If you need a smaller wine barrel without the savings box functionality, you might consider my following Thingiverse objects:

You may want to print the following items in a brown color to simulate wood:
Barrel large segment V1.stl, Barrel large cover btm V1.stl, Barrel large cover top V1.stl.
When the following items are printed in a silver color, they look like metal:
Barrel large ring large V1.stl, Barrel large ring small V1.stl.
The assembly is REALLY difficult. You will need a rubber band to avoid frustration. Please look at the assembly instructions further down. No glue is needed, everything comes together nicely.

If the last segment does not fit or if you have a gap at the end, I have added a 4.5 mm wide segment.
Enjoy printing this object.

If you use the Cura slicer you can use the experimentatl feature "Use Adaptive Layers" to save some print time. I got very good results with the adaptive layers.Do not resize the barrel in your slicer program. Everything is designed for the existing size. If you resize it, I am not sure if the segments will form the required 360 ° angle.
Wine barrel savings box assembly part 1
Try to create a structure as shown in the picture. The rubber band holds the 4 segments in place. Without the rubber band you will get a headache. The rubber band should not be too tight.
For a perfekt look try to choose the same orientation for all the segments. This means that the rough side is always facing in the same direction, e. g. to the left. Thus, a rough side will always touch a smooth side.
Wine barrel savings box assembly part 2
Add more segments to the 4 existing segments with the rough side always facing to the same direction. In the example on the picture, the rough side is facing to the left. Try to hold the existing four segments with your fingers to prevent them from moving. This is the difficult part. The more segments you add the more stable the barrel will get.
Wine barrel savings box assembly part 3
With my printer and at several prints the last segment fitted nicely. If you have troubles to get in the last segment or if there is a gap, please tell me and I will design a suitable last segment for you.
Wine barrel savings box assembly part 4
Insert the top and bottom rings. Please make sure that the rings are facing in the correct direction. The upper part of the upper ring is a bit less wide than the lower part of the upper ring. With the lower ring it is just opposite. Once you have one ring in place the barrel is stable and cannot fall apart any longer.
Wine barrel savings box assembly part 5
Add the middle ring.
The assembly is now complete and you have created a very cute wine barrel savings box.
The wine barrel savings box was designed with Blender.
