Description
Easter Eggs in animals shape for assembling
3 animals in few variations + one simple egg
For assembling with 4, 3, 2 or in just 1 part
Parts lists are on 2 renders
Bunny is 58x58x85mm, rest models are lower
The easy and yet good looking set is 0-base, 1-3-mid, 4-top
1, 2 and 3 models printed separatly are harder to print but you will get more colors
'Box' is the easiest to print 2 part version
‘Solid’ is the best for painting it after the print
Connection of 4-top with 3-wave (or 0-3-base or 1-3-mid) is weaker to help opening and closing the egg without unasseembling the rest by mistake
2-dots is easier to use than 2-dots_no-cut but I don't know if it will stay where it should if you will push the dot from the outside - but you can always glue it or use a heated wire to merge two ends
For 2-dots_no-cut it is better to use some more elastic filament (for example PET-G instead of PLA)
3-wave is thicker on the bottom than on top - info may be usefull when assembling
Parts may not fit nice when resized
You may need to use XY compensation (Horizontal expansion) in your slicer
I printed small 'box' eggs in 65% size of top and 64% size of bottom without any other option changed

Made for 0.4mm nozzle
No supports needed
Print with at least 2 walls
Minimal infill needed
'3-wave' may need a brim to help it stick to the bed
Print it with lower speed and more cooling as it is with overhangs
I printed it with silk PLA so it's not very good looking (silk filaments are not good with overhangs) - that's why you see some gaps there on photos
Face parts (black on photos and renders) may be simply painted with black marker or printed and then glued (I used methylene chloride for this on PLA prints)
Printed on Voron 0.1 with 0.1mm layer height
With PLA filaments
