Yoshi Egg switch game holder MMU

What better way to protect your switch games, than inside Yoshie’s egg?

The Game insert carries up to 10 switch games and can be removed for additional storage!

I originally created this for my patreon supporters and wanted to share this MMU version for free here on makerworld, as they have been so generous.

I would like to keep this as a makerworld exclusive as makerworld has been amazing with their support for creator / designers like myself.

I ran several test prints with the threads already attached to the bottom of the egg. This changed the orientation of the bottom egg, and the steep overhangs on the bottom caused poor print quality. I found separating the threads and creating a connection piece simpler to print and had the best results.

I added a "top cap for game storage" part that will get glued inside the top of the egg, as I noticed that flipping the egg around and playing with it causes the games to fall out of place. By adding this part, it should eliminate that problem.

I also recently created a bottom part with a large flat area, hoping to one day design a Yoshi to fit inside.

I discovered that when creating this design as a single extruder version, where the spots are printed separately, caused some issues with print quality as well. This is one application where print quality can be improved through MMU or dual color printing. Although I understand why this option isn't always the best as far as cost is concerned with the wasted filament purges.

If printing this design out for personal use, you would want the best quality print and I provided the MMU version here on makerworld for free.

If printing this design out to make sales, you would want the least expensive option to produce, so I will be adding the single extruder version back to my patreon in December 2023, if you are interested in selling prints of this design.
