This is a re-creation of the famous Manatee Mailbox from the Florida Keys!

Known throughout Florida and along the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts, the manatee mailbox is given names, dressed in outfits, and celebrated like the peaceful and beautiful animal it represents.

A few years ago I contacted https://manateemailboxes.com and asked them if it was okay for me to duplicate their artwork, and they agreed!

If you choose to 3D print this small miniature version of the mailbox, then send one to them as a thank you (if it's convenient).

I myself print them in many colors. For the most natural look, print it in a granite filament and then paint the mailbox.

Look for variations in my collection that allow the separate printing of the mailbox, manatee, and even some attachments.

Or remix it and get creative. Continue the legend of the Manatee Mailbox!

(Narrator: Also makes cute earrings, charms, pencil toppers and. more). Fastest way to chop it apart for remixing is Meshmixer. It's quick and capable.)

I plan to be a future Bond villain, so I'm building an army. I just need micro robotics and Ai to catch up so I can take over the world with manatees and overdue bills. Bwahahaha!
