Description
Here's a fun print for Easter. Remember, PLA is not food safe.
Looking for something fun to put in the egg? Try Build Over Bot's Mandalorian Easter Bunny with Grogu.
I've included both my PrusaSlicer 3MF file and my GCODE (for MKS3+). If you're not using either:
I used 15% rectilinear (lines) infill and two perimeters (walls). I placed both halves of the egg on the build plate with the opening of the egg touching the plate. I used support for the dome of each egg half (probably not necessary, but it printed well) and also used support for the overhang on the bottom half of the egg (completely necessary). I also used height range modifiers so it only put tops and botoms where I wanted. Otherwise, I generally used default settings for .15mm high quality settings in PrusaSlicer. I did adjust the temp and retraction slightly for the PLA.
I used MatterHackers Rainbow PLA and printed both halves of the egg together so the color change would go from the middle out.
