Thread & Image Alignment

To ensure the dragon's egg artwork lines up when the egg is fully closed, start the screw connection at a 90‑degree orientation (as shown in the reference image).

If the design doesn’t align when tightened, simply back it off and begin threading from the next starting point.

Thread Break‑In Tip

For the first couple of turns, walk the threads back and forth gently before tightening fully. This helps clear any tiny print artifacts and ensures the halves seat smoothly.

Scaling for Larger Dragons

If you’re pairing this egg with larger dragon models or want a more dramatic display piece, the egg can be safely resized in your slicer. Uniform scaling maintains the thread fit and preserves the emboss detail.
