"Get Your Pig On!" That's the slogan for what might be America's most endearing grocery store chain, The Piggly Wiggly.

I live near several, and it's a big part of modern Southern culture in the U.S.

This 3D model might be different than what you're used to seeing. I call these shells, and after they are printed you fill the cavities with tinted resin. I prefer to use Fast Cast white resin tinted with a few drops of enamel modeling paint from the small bottles made by Testors. I mixed the paint with part an and then mix part an and b together. Stir for almost a minute, pour, and then it cures in about fifteen minutes.

At the end you will have the cavities filled with different color resins, and it will be a gloppy mess. This is where a belt sander comes in handy. With a belt sander you sand the face until the black lines emerge again. It only takes a minute.

The photo I included is of my last one, which I kept because it was an older prototype that had artifacts you could see after sanding. Those issues are now resolved.

Turn it into a coaster, lapel pin, or just enjoy it for the pigginess of it.

Ask me questions if you're confused. I've been doing this a long time, and it's tricky at first, but can be a very satisfying way to make art pieces. It's also extremely quick to print the shells..

IMPORTANT: always print at 100% infill for this type of project. You will be sanding a few layers off the top and you don't want to break through an outer layer if the infill is less than 100%
