Update October 26, 2024: Added “ez” versions of the egg bottoms so it's easier to connect the eggs together.

Update August 8, 2024: Added alternative egg tops with a flattened interior roof for easier bridging.

This is a scaled up model of my original pinecone egg that can hold the large dragons I've designed!

You still have the same magnetic features of my smaller eggs, but now you can hold so much more!

I've uploaded a large version as well as a GIANT version!

Is it too over-the-top? You decide.

It's recommended that your printer be well tuned to ensure pieces fit comfortably. Tolerances are set to 0.3mm. This puts the fitment somewhere between snug and loose in order to accommodate the wide variety of printers out there and their tuned states.

If you happen to have clearance issues, you can always scale the model up in order to loosen up the tolerances necessary for pieces to fit together properly.

Print Instructions: Optional Hardware: 6 - 6x3mm magnets for the egg

Supports: Not required. However, if you want the inside of the egg to look neat toward the top you might consider adding supports.

Assembly: When placing the magnets, ensure the magnets placed in a way where they attract each other when closing the egg.

I've designed the magnets to be a “loose” press fit. Due to the wide variety of printers out there and the various states of tune the printers are in, I didn't want to make the tolerance too tight and make it difficult for those who haven't tuned their printers well enough. So, if your printer is well tuned, you may need to use glue to fasten the magnets.

Happy printing!
