Easter Egg Holder - Group 5

thingiverse

Easter egg holders are provided, along with OpenScad source code, so you can create your own custom versions. For making your own holey models, see "How to Meshmixer Voronoi.txt". Before printing, measure the diameter of your egg where it will rest on the holder and adjust your model accordingly. You can edit the *.scad file and make a new *.stl file, or scale it in your slicer. These models are designed for printing without rafts or support, making them suitable for low-cost printers like mine. Thingiverse only renders OpenScad files 1 and 2, but my PC can handle numbers 3 through 5. Printing EggHolder_group5_1.meshmix.dual_edges.stl upside down works well, so that is the orientation used in the stl file. Special instructions apply for models 3, 4, and 5 if you want to modify the OpenScad files and generate new stl files: 3. With three tree frogs, use the file "treefrog_45_cut.stl." Obtain it from thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18479. 4. With four bunnies, use the file "stargazing_rabbit.stl." Get it from thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:25644. The photo of model 4 with pink bunnies was printed at 50% scale. 5. For this model, OpenScad requires two steps. First, run OpenScad to create a single tube and save it as "EggHolder_group5_5.tube.stl." Second, use the tube file in OpenScad to render the final four-sided thing. 6. With ten chickens, use Chiken_t_rr.stl (provided). I started with Chiken_t.stl from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:182098 and modified it with Meshmixer to reduce triangles by 50% and repair.
