Cookie Egg

Cookie Egg - My kids and I absolutely love making these dragon eggs - I’m genuinely not sure who likes them more! We’ve done a lot of scaled down sizes since even at 60% the eggs are pretty large! The largest egg in the photos is a 50% scale and fits the baby dragons nicely. Once we jumped from 60 to 50 though we saw the locking threads get loose. So the 60% egg still has that satisfying click into place but the smaller scales lost that click. We wanted to do a lot of the smaller eggs for Easter so I tinkered with some settings until we came to a solution. In Bambu studios the setting is under quality, called XY hole compensation - I know other slicers have a similar function just called something different. I applied the setting to the top half of the egg to make the hole on the interior slightly smaller to fit more snugly on the bottom half, and it’s a very minute adjustment! I settled on -0.2mm on a 35% scaled egg and it’s now a perfect fit. Another printer might have slightly different tolerances so the number may change slightly but I just wanted to share it is possible to make these eggs lock nicely even at very small scales! We’ve even gone down to 30% successfully and they make the cutest homes for those tiny wyverns and other little critters kids love! - 3d model
