Yoshi Popcorn Bucket Lamp

 

 

 

A multicolor split model inspired by a popular Yoshi-style popcorn holder. It’s designed to be very easy to assemble and its head and feet can articulate. The egg mechanism is still a work in progress and needs further testing and refinement, especially around the opening system. An alternative version with magnets (6x2mm, listed in the BOM) has also been developed, allowing the egg to attach securely to the figure. This version can double as a small lamp or be used to hold items like pistachios or peanuts.

 

Keep in mind that 3D printers and filament are not inherently food-safe, regardless of what you might read online. Even materials like PETG can go through unknown manufacturing processes, brass nozzles are a big NO and printed parts can harbor bacteria. Avoid using this, or any 3D-printed object, for direct food contact without proper precautions such as sealing it with proper sealant. The warning is there, what you do with it is your choice.

Assembly notes:

Assembly is pretty straight forward, you will need superglue or a two component resin glue. The legs and arms are shaped so that there is no wrong way to assemble it

There are two body options, split and whole. I tried to print the whole version, and the tip of the tail failed, so I made the split version for easier printing

Make sure you align the green part of the egg correctly to the edge of the shell. Otherwise, it will not close properly. If you do make a mistake, you can simply shave it off. 

I glued it bad and had to cut it off with a trimmer. 
DO NOT use a cutter!!!!!!! 
You can injure yourself pretty bad, grab a proper trimming tool. You can get it on BambuLab store or aliexpress, BL stuff is generally much better quality:
