Bronze “Ricky Bank” Created From 3D Printer Selling For $5000

The Ricky Bank is a 3D printed 420 Stainless Steel “infused with bronze” coin bank shaped as Rick Ross’ head. Thankfully, the website explains just exactly how the fuck 3D printing—in this case—works:

To build “The Ricky Bank”, special 3D printers deposit small drops of glue onto layers of stainless steel powder, one layer at a time, until the bank is complete. We carefully remove these models from the printer. At this stage of the process, the objects are very fragile, similar to wet sand. The bank then goes through an infusion process that replaces the glue with bronze, creating a full metal product. The bank is then processed, sprayed with a sealant, and shipped to you.

And it’s all yours for the very ballin’ cost of roughly $5000. But ballers, beware: the coin bank is not food safe and is not recyclable, not like ballers really care about recycling anyway.

The folks at Noisey also sat down with the Ricky Bank creator to find out what the hell inspired him to take on his new venture.

Noisey: I saw your site pop up on Twitter this morning. Can you tell me a little bit about where the idea came from?

Brandon Hixon: One day when I was riding around and getting it, I realized I was saving it, so I decided to create a cool way to save some cash.

How did you start working with 3D printing?

I live on the same block as Makerbot and I’ve been amazed by 3D printing since they opened their doors back in 2009.

Why did you start off with Rick Ross?

His money talk game is serious and he’s a iconic figure. Everyone knows his face.

What other products are you working on at the moment?

Working on some cool merch for De La Soul that should be released soon. Also, The Diddy Bank and The Biggie Bank.

Would you pay $5000 to get Rick Ross’ head (get your mind out of the gutter)??
