Description
Chubby meditating monk egg holder – single color print
Meet the Chubby Meditating Monk Egg Holder – a fun and minimalist egg holder designed as a relaxed, cross‑legged character where the egg becomes the head.
The model works perfectly as a quirky kitchen accessory or a conversation piece on your table.
Designed for medium eggs. If you want one for bigger eggs, you can scale it up a little
Perfectly round cavity for a natural fit
Requires less than 5 grams of supports
Single color friendly – no multicolor needed
Smooth, soft Japandi-inspired aesthetic
Stable, bottom for reliable prints, but not completely smooth, for better adhesion to the table (so the egg doesn't crack)
Recommended print settings:
Layer height: 0.15-0.20 mm (the model in the photos is 0.20 mm)
Infill: 10% gyroid
External perimeters/outer wall speed: 50 mm/s: for smoother appearance
Supports: Organic, on build plate only. You can dial down the overhang threshold to 30 in Prusaslicer.
Material: PLA. Use PETG for warm eggs.
Can also be used as a golf ball holder. For the best look, use a matte PLA (sand, beige, or off-white) to enhance the soft, sculpted appearance.
