Here is a St. Patrick's Day pot of gold with a little extra treasure inside 🌈 When assembled, this slinky gains a bit of a yo-yo/kendama vibe 😂 It is actually really fun to play with and only requires simple assembly (gluing).

**3D Print Settings:**
Layer Height 0.2mm
15% Infill
PLA works great
No Supports needed.

Dimensions of Small Pot of Gold Slinky: 3 in. x 2 ½ in.
Dimensions of Large Pot of Gold Slinky: 3 ½ in. x 3 in.

I am also attaching two 3mf files: one for the small Pot of Gold and one for the large. 

**Note**: When you go to preview the slinky in Bambu Studio you will get a warning that states: “Warning: It seems object POG Small (or Large) Slinky has floating cantilever. Please re-orient the object or enable support generation.” You can ignore this warning. The program is recognizing the space between each layer of the slinky. That ‘space’ is intentional and necessary to be able to separate the slinky when it is done printing. It will print fine without supports:)

**Tip**: I recommend multicolor filament (dual-color or tri-colored filament) or rainbow colored filament for the slinky. I used rainbow colored filament but just a heads up: to get all the colors of the rainbow in there I had to print 5-6 at a time because the color repeat on my spool was about 200g (the small slinky is ~32g and the large slinky is ~47g).

**How to assemble:**
Step 1: First, gently separate the layers of the slinky. After printing they will be lightly connected together. Gently separate them with your fingers or a non-sharp object like a butter knife. (See photo)
Step 2: Next, super glue the pile of gold to one end of the slinky. (See photo)
Step 3: Super glue the other end of the slinky to the bottom of the pot. This piece is loose inside the pot but is too big to come out. Set the pot on a small object (I used a spool of thread) to raise up the ‘bottom’ of the pot. Apply glue to the bottom of the slinky and then attach it to the bottom piece of the pot. Setting it on a bottle/spool isn't necessary but it makes the gluing process a little easier. (See photo)

Have fun printing!🍀

Pot of Gold Slinky (2 sizes)

This model utilizes the [Magnetic Levitation kit](https://store.bambulab.com/products/magnetic-levitation-diy-kit) from Bambu Lab.

Wow your friends and family by showing them that you've got your own pot of gold and THEY CAN'T HAVE IT!

**Printing Instructions:**
The 3mf file provided was sliced using Bambu Studio and should have all the proper settings as defined below

Gold
- Layer height: 0.12mm
- Wall type: Arachne
- Supports: Yes
Clouds
- Supports: Yes
Everything else:
- Supports: No
- Layer height: 0.2mm

To reduce weight in Pot.stl I put a modifier for the top portion of it and set infill to 0% (Open 3mf file in Bambu Studio/Orca Slicer to see what I mean)

**Assembly Instructions:**
Follow [this video](https://youtube.com/shorts/8nz7jpwlvjg) for assembly if needed.

- Place puck into Puck Container
- Screw Puck Cap onto it to secure it. There shouldn't be any rattling when it's screwed on all the way
- Screw puck assembly into Pot. Use Tool to tighten it sufficiently. It doesn't have to be super tight, but we don't want it to be loose either
- Feed power port wire through hole of Clouds
- Fasten power port using the provided nut
- Plug the power port into the levitating kit
- Slide clouds over Base
- Glue standoffs onto base
- Press bowties into corresponding slots. Do not use glue. It should be a press fit and should be difficult to remove
- Use double-sided tape to place the pcb sensor onto the flat section of the underside of the clouds (Refer to video if confused). This will be used to turn the lights on and off. Touching the outside of the cloud should be sufficient to control it
- Plug it in and place the pot on top of the clouds for it to levitate.
