Description

Instead of using threads to fasten the egg together, this model uses magnets! This makes it easier to align the colors of the top and bottom when using multi-color filaments and is so satisfying to open and close!

 

Print Instructions:

Optional Hardware:

6 - 6x3mm magnets

 

Supports: Not required, However, if you want the inside of the egg to look neat toward the top, you might consider adding supports there.

 

Assembly:

When placing the magnets, ensure the magnets are placed in a way where they attract each other when closing the egg.

Interesting use of magnets vs simply use tight fitting connections. There are pros and cons to both I suppose

Yes this is true. I've always been fascinated by magnets, though. I love how the egg gets pulled closed and clicks.

We have printed this a few times and it’s perfect every time. Great size to put small *suprises* in as a gift. One of my favorites!
