Add this to your collection of eggs as you prepare for halloween!
Whether you're planning on using this egg to store your favorite baby dragon or putting it on display, this egg will make a great addition to your collection!
Included in the models are two different sizes of egg and top different tops.
The egg top with "flat top" in the name just indicates the egg top that is flat toward the top on the interior in order to accommodate bridging in case you want to avoid supports.
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 supports.
Assembly: I've added egg tops with separated stems for those who don't have multi-material printers. Simply glue the stem in place.
When placing the magnets, ensure the magnets placed in a way where they attract each other when closing the egg.
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.
Happy printing!
