KEEP MAGNETS AWAY FROM SMALL CHILDREN. Magnets can come loose. If swallowed, magnets can be FATAL.
I'm sharing my files so that you can make them for yourselves or give them away as gifts. I hope you enjoy them. I do not authorize sale of my work by anyone. Please don't ask me.
Another fun Easter Egg design. It has a tall, narrow pocket in the inside where you can hide a fun surprise. It uses 3x2mm magnets to told the two pieces together. Since scaling up the model means making the holes themselves bigger, I've uploaded 4 sizes of the design: 100%, 125%, 150%, and 200%. I've only included the 3MF file for the smallest size.
Quick Tip: The easiest way I've found to install the magnets is to get a larger rod-shaped magnet (some magnet sets come with them) and place a 3x2 magnet on the end. Put a drop of CA glue in the hole in the egg. Put a drop of kicker (aka “insta-cure” or “activator”) on the magnet, then use the larger magnet to install the smaller one in the egg and slide the pushed magnet sideways off the egg. The 3x2 magnest are deep enough they usually stay put even before the glue sets.
I'm guessing for the larger sizes as I've only printed the 100% scale egg.
I've included my PrusaSlicer 3MF file for the 100% version so those who use PrusaSlicer don't have to work out all the settings.
