Description

New Version Available - January 25, 2024: A new version of this model has been released! It prints much cleaner at the bottom, and has the same threading. Check it out here.

This is a large threaded egg. It was designed to be large enough to hold one of McGybeer's articulated dragons (printed at the default size). Looks particularly good in multicolor coextruded filaments.

Printing Tips

If you are using a coextruded (multicolor) filament be sure not to change the orientation of the halves, or else the colors won't line up correctly.
Some filaments are a bit “stickier” than others. If you find your threads do not smoothly you can put a drop of sewing machine oil on them to help things along. One drop is plenty!
Decreasing your flow rate can also help with tight tolerances. Take the time to calibrate your flow rate, and use dynamic flow rate if your printer supports it.
If your filament doesn't have good layer adhesion and you may find that the bottom breaks away from the rest of the model when removing it from the build plate. I recommend waiting until the build plate is cool to remove the print, but if issues persist you can increase the number of bottom layers to help solidify the base.

History

Update January 5, 2024: There is a new “revised” version which aims to address some of the issues with the messy early layers. It's not perfect by any means, but it has a wider base which is less prone to issues. There is also improved alignment of the lower scales.
