Devil Chicken: No AMS Halloween Centerpiece

What is the purpose of this infernal chicken? 

I designed this diabolical egg guarding avian as a “Dollar Tree hack” for an upcoming Halloween party. The print includes a base that fits perfectly into the center recess of Dollar Tree's garden variety deviled egg tray. Just grab a tray for two bucks at any Dollar Tree store (or order it online if you prefer) and you have a perfectly spooky-weird center piece for your deviled eggs at your next Halloween party. Or just print it as an ornament … I'm not the boss of you. :)

Printing

No print supports or AMS are needed for this build. The included 3mf file is configured for ease of printing. Alternatively, just make sure that you set the two small black pegs to 100 % infill. Other than that, 10% gyroid infill works for all the larger pieces, but hey, feel to use a denser infill on the chicken for a bit of added stability. 

Assembly

Everything snaps together easily. No glue or third party fasteners are needed. This video will walk you through the process. 

Where to buy the deviled egg tray

• Here's a link to the product on Dollar Tree's website. The SKU (product number) is 316974. Just give that number to the cashier at any Dollar Tree outlet and they should be able to steer you in the right direction. 
• Here's an identical product on Amazon. 
• And finally, here's a fancy schmancy wooden version if you're entertaining foreign dignitaries. 

I hope you enjoy this chicken. I always love to see pictures of your prints, and if you want THE BEST deviled egg recipe known to humankind, just drop me a message. I'll be delighted to share it with you. 

 

Happy Halloween!
