This model is a fully mechanical version of the golden egg from The Goblet of Fire Harry Potter movie. You can also add a tea light or a fairy light to the inside egg.
This model assembled (with base stand) will be 19 cm tall (7.4 inches) and 12.2 cm (4.8 inches) in diameter.
This model does require a little glue but no other hardware. Most parts connect through screw structures. I have created an instructional PDF with a guide to which parts you need, the suggested print settings, and assembly (with step by step photos).
There is also an image posted to show all of the parts that will be needed for assembly.
Please at least take a glance through the assembly part of the PDF before putting together as there are some super important things to note. There are photos that illustrate how to align the pieces properly.
This model has been polished and print tested thoroughly. That said, sometimes different printers can cause issues. If you encounter an issue with the model, please let me know and I will address it.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
*A few people (from makerworld) have reported issues with outer egg print failing near completion due to it opening up. You could use a brim, which will be hard to remove, or pause the print 2/3rds of the way and add painters or masking tape around the seams to help hold it closed.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
The large outer egg uses near 200m of filament. So please use one of the suggestions to reduce risk of failure (plus its a long print time too).
*Using a brim on the owl top part will cause problems with the screw threads lining up properly. Use a “outside only” brim for the inner egg.
These include:
1x Owl Top Part (two options)
3x Top Owl Leaf
3x Bottom Owl Leaf
1x Outer Egg Part
1x Inner Egg Part (needs to be tightly screwed to outer egg, but not overly tight so it can be removed for lights)
1x Tri-Base Stand (must be rotated to specific orientation to function as intended)
1x Tea Light or Fairy Lights (optional) - Must be purchased.
*The opening diameter at the base of the inner egg to insert a light source is 40mm when printed at 100%
