Donkey Kong Country DK Coin for Creality Ender 3 | Ender 3 Pro | Cr-10 Extruder Knob

Classic Donkey Kong Country beatbox intro

I'm so happy with how this turned out. I reached out to Peardian on "The Models Resource", who designed this from scratch utilizing the Super Smash Brothers Brawl environment as a reference image.

This really throws you back though. The older Donkey Kong Country series was amazing for its time, and "getting the DK Coins" was definitely a core memory for myself and family. After getting some Silk Gold filament, it just HAD to be made.

Again, utilizing @krutooon's "Nuclear Extruder Knob"'s base (since it fits the knob so frigg'n easily), this was designed, fixed up, and mesh-fixed in Blender. (I've included a nostalgic image of the SNES original DK coin for reference).

• Layer Height: 0.2
• Infill: 20%
• Generate Support: YES, it requires supports (like... come on, hardly ANY;) but it's important to get that "embossed" look on the front of the letters.

Pick out the supports with your cuters. If done properly, it should come out in less than "10 chunks". :)

I did it with a baby in my arms and I think I got it out in 6 chunks. Good luck!
