Summary

An elegant Easter egg with a complex geometric design. It prints easily and clicks together.

Not for commercial use. Please see license agreement.

Both pieces can be printed “right side up” so you can use 3-color filament or rainbow filament and have the colors match up. Because of the complex moves the printer has to make, it may need to be printed slower than other models.

To print eggs that fit inside each other like Matryoshka dolls, I recommend scaling to 100%, 68% and 46%.

To open the egg, hold both halves, wiggle & pull apart. The bottom half has a slight ridge on 2 sides that clicks into a groove in the top. Because of that, it's easier to separate them wiggling in one direction than another. If wiggling one way doesn't work, try another direction.

You can loosen the pieces a lot just by twisting them a few times when they're together. Opening them also gets easier with use. And sandpaper is always an option. If that's not enough, consider reprinting with less flow, lower temperature, more elephant foot compensation, but first make sure you have the printer calibrated so the first layer prints well.
