Experience the satisfaction of the egg snapping in place as you close it when you add magnets!
Print Instructions: Required Hardware:
- 6 - 6x3mm magnets for the egg
Supports: Not required. However, if you want the inside of the egg to look neat toward the top you might consider adding support there if you'd like.
Assembly: When placing the magnets, ensure the magnets placed in a way where they attract each other when the tray is attached to the pot.
I've designed the magnets to be a “loose” press fit. Due to the wide variety of printers out there and the various states of tune the printers are in, I didn't want to make the tolerance too tight and make it difficult for those who haven't tuned their printers well enough. So, if your printer is well tuned, you may need to use glue to fasten the magnets.
