Hanging Press-Fit Easter Eggs - Support Free

Easter eggs that you can hang from a tree?  A doorway?  Something else?  

Your littles have already mastered the art of the egg hunt.  They've watched Tyler on YouTube many times, and they look behind the rock, on top of the playground ladder, and under the tire.  You need to make the game more difficult to challenge them, but how?  Add the Z-dimension.  The hanger allows you to put eggs in places that used to be difficult – if not impossible.  Teach them to look “up” instead of just down.  You can use fishing line, wire, string, or a bent paper clip. 

Usage:   It's a press fit design.  Simply add a treat and press it together, then hang it wherever.

Post processing  / print warning:  This model will take a tiny bit of cleanup.  To get this geometry “support-free” but still have a tight press fit, there is a slight overhang of the lip that requires less than a minute of your time with an X-acto knife.  Essentially, the first layer of the lip overhang – no matter how slow you make it go with your printer – will generally not completely adhere around the whole inner circle.  You'll want to run the knife around the perimeter inside the egg and cut the loose threads (if you have any).  This is for the bottom egg half only.  The top half of the egg prints hassle-free – unless your filament is oosy and wet, then the top half loop can melt together, so make sure you have nice, clean filament and a well-tuned printer for the small egg.

AI Disclaimer:  These models are SCAD-generated.  It's a way to create models using code, and they have precise tolerances dialed in by me using parametric modeling.  This means their generation is deterministic, so no AI hallucinations.  However, I use AI as a coding assistant.  AI is my math expert that helps me to more accurately and efficiently program my models.  So AI did have a hand in making this model, but it isn't truly “AI generated” since it's “SCAD generated”.  

I will not share the SCAD file for this model.  It just isn't user friendly at all, and I want to save you guys the headaches.  I might upload it way after Easter after I have a chance to make it simpler.  Then again, I might not.
