I know it's a little late for this year's Easter but I quickly needed some really fancy looking holiday decorations and these work great all year round. Strictly speaking this is more of an instructable that allows you to very quickly create an almost infinite number of different eggs. The trick is that rather than designing them from scratch you actually use the infill patterns of your slicer (Cura, slic3r...) to create your very own personal design. CREATING YOUR OWN DESIGN in less than a minute . So here is how this works. Download the attached .stl (which comes in two flavors, one is a fully shaped egg that needs supports and one that does not because it has a flattened bottom) and open in your favorite slicing app (I use Cura but any other slicer will work just as well). The original is 5 cm (2") tall but you can scale it to any size you want (whether it's robin or ostrich size...). For the settings take a quick look at the screenshot I have included with the images above. First set your top layers, bottom layers, and wall lines to ZERO. This will create a print that only consists of the infill without the hull. Next choose the infill pattern. In Cura e.g. Gyroid, Octet, or Cross 3D look really awesome. Next chose the infill density (typically between 10 and 30%). Now click on "slice" and see what the result looks like. Play around with the settings, you can create an almost infinite number of designs (you can even change the infill pattern for certain parts of the egg). VOILA! PRINTING. Printing is really easy. Use any resolution you like (I use 0.28 on my Artillery Sidewinder X1) and your favorite filament. - The ones in the images are printed using this cheap, strong, and easy to print Carbon Fiber PLA, which is my go to filament for all black parts, and - in plain (not Silk) Gold, but once again, any of your favorite filaments (all silk filaments should look awesome) and colors will do. For the eggs in two colors I simply changed filament half way through the print.

HOPE YOU LIKE THEM, AND IF YOU LIKE THEM, PLEASE LIKE THEM. THANKS!

Enjoy and happy printing!
