Egg Holders
Added 2023-04-04 09:29:11 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I wanted to create something "practical" for this Easter and my first idea was just to reuse the hinge I've made for my Mimic chest and make an egg holder. In my previous design I didn't like the lack of the option to keep the lid in place without magnets so I started experimenting and I came out with something I hope you are gonna like.
I've made 4 different versions, Barrel, Dragon Egg and basic ones in 2 versions. The only difference between the simple ones is the additional rim that provides a better surface for printing.
Printing tips
I've printed them without any support but I've added a brim just in case because the hinges are small at 100%. On the Prusa in multiple tests I didn't use brim, while on Bambu I've used it and I've lowered the speed on the first few layers.
If your printers are like mine then everything should fit perfectly and the little locking thingy should work. To open an egg just squeeze the bottom part on both sides at the same time and you will get this :D
What's next?
Well, I've started one "original" female fantasy character (more info about it will be in my next post), I've also started making Zeb Orrelios from Star Wars, I would love to make another mask and I still haven't decided what kind of mini dudes I'm gonna make this month. My wife really wants me to make Edgar Allan Poe but I'm not sure how many people would be interested in that one :)
Talk to you soon!
