Tiny Dragon Egg Box (sturdier)

A small box in the shape of a scaled dragon egg with a hinge and latch that snaps shut. This is a remix of [Tiny Dragon Egg Box by GreyFluffs](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4798791) and [Dragon ornaments by Syxiaolu94](https://makerworld.com/en/models/168710) with some modifications to make them sturdier, so that it survives the first contact with kids. Also I wanted to print it in silk filament, which looks shiny and awesome but has terrible layer adhesion, so the original model broke when trying to close it for the first time after assembly. The eggs you see on the photos were used as giveaways on a kid's birthday party. Sadly two hinges broke before I could tell the kids to be cautious when closing the lid, but I was able to glue them back together with superglue (CA glue). Recommended print settings: * Layer height 0.15mm. * Disable supports, use dragonegg-sturdier-top-with-supports.stl instead. * Use a piece of 1.75mm filament for the hinge. You might have to clean up the holes a bit. Maybe flatten the ends of the filament piece with a hot piece of metal to prevent it coming loose. * Be extra careful around the latch when removing supports (see photo). The latch is marked with an arrow on the outside. * When using rainbow filament, print the bottom first, then the top to preserve the color gradient (see photos or .3mf file). List of modifications relative to original models: * Make latch wider and shorter * Make hinge wider and thicker * Make hinge slot shorter, so that it opens to ~45° and the egg does not tip over when lid is up * Make hinge holes teardrop shaped to make them print more round * Add a small indent on the front as an indicator where to open it * Improve custom supports for top shell * Add second row to support both the inner and outer edge of the shell * Add brim to prevent supports from falling over * Make dragon model sturdier * Shorten large horns to make them less likely to snap off * Add stabilizers to wings to make them less likely to snap off Also available on Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/1139243-tiny-dragon-egg-box-sturdier ## Licenses * The dragon is shared under the [Creative Commons - Attribution - Share Alike 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/) license. * The egg is shared under the [Creative Commons - Attribution - Non-Commercial - Share Alike 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/) license.
