KEEP MAGNETS AWAY FROM SMALL CHILDREN. Magnets can come loose. If swallowed, magnets can be FATAL.

About The Design

Another fun Easter Egg design. It uses 3x2mm magnets to told the two pieces together. 4 magnets on each half are more than enough, but I put 8 holes in so you could change the pattern up by rotating the top 45 degrees relative to the bottom.

Quick Tips: 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 magnets are deep enough they usually stay put even before the glue sets.

If you're going to print using dichromatic (or trichromatic) filament, you can download MatterHacker's Quantum Calibration Coin for free. The coin is used to determine how the filament pattern is aligned relative to the print bed. You then rotate the objects in your slicer so they align to the filament pattern.
