Description

These Easter eggs are larger than normal. Actually, they are about the size on an emu egg! I would suggest that you choose 1-3 eggs and display them together. Adding extra eggs printed at varying scales can also look very nice. I have successfully tested them down to 25% scale with the exception of the Lattice Egg. The lattice is a retraction nightmare at smaller sizes. They should scale upwards without issue as well, but beware - they are pretty large already!

Print Settings

Because of the size, these eggs take a while to print. I found that I could speed up that process by limiting infill to critical areas only. Most of the examples above were printed at 0.2mm layer heights.

Printed in Eryone rainbow pla! 💪

@schrecke

not able to print on these nice eggs from the main 3mf file. parts don't hold together. did 2 test prints with an A1 and PolyTerra PLA 🥺 Maybe the specific file for this egg works, last try. But obviously nobody else tried this egg (at least no pictures in the comments). I really like all of these egg designs.

I am having the same problem. Luckily it failed in the first 2 min. Trying it again.

@schrecke

Replying to @Sentinel :

I think the adhision/connection btw the section is too less. I even saw a pattern, probably need to get the inner area to 100% infill. Or any other idea? btw: the single file for this egg is different to the all-in-one-file, there is a modifier in place

Replying to @schrecke :

intersting! thanks for the info! i ended up printing 2 other eggs in silver with 50% speed and was successfull! but i retired this lrint completely as i wasnt impressed with the print quality! maybe it would look better with matte PLAs! silk was not good!

@Brownmiata

very cool. great decoration for Easter. I am going to cut a slit in mine for a gift card

@Oday105

what bed plate is that? Is it textured? looks awesome!

@redheadedstrang

you should of paused the print and popped the gift card in there, finished the print and given it to them like that LOL

@Brownmiata

Replying to @redheadedstrang :

AHAH that would have been great. There is still time to print a couple more!

Nice designs! Printed on A1 mini. One of them broke during the print but I removed the broken part and let the print finish. Ended up with one "3d print art" variant :)
