Summary

The Trojan Horse model is a fun and decorative print that features a large open internal storage compartment accessed through a hatch on the underside... perfect for hiding away small items including money, jewellery, keys and more. Great to use yourself or as a unique gift. They look great in any colour...

The tail / hatch print as two parts (although an .stl including both parts in one print is also included). The horse part is a print-in-place design that, with a good slicing app and accurate machine, will produce a model with free rotating wheels.

At standard scale the Trojam Horse (with the tail/hatch installed) measures 136mm x 105mm x 32.5mm.Large areas inside the Trojam Horse have been left empty to reduce print time and filament usage. The hatch measures approx.24mm x 14mm. The internal cavity is 68mm x 25mm x 25mm... plenty of space to hide away lost of 'small / precious things.

This is an easy print but DO NOT USE SUPPORT as this could result in the wheels not turning freely and the internal storage area being filled. Machines with good bridging capability should produce good results.
